A two-year veteran with the Chicago Orphans of the National League, Third Baseman was one of the plethoras of baseball players to leave the NL for the American League's greener pastures, in his case, the then-named Cleveland Blues, which evolved years later to adopt the Indians nickname.

Gaylord Perry entered the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991, after a 22-year career.  He only spent three-a-half seasons with Cleveland, but arguably it was the best period of his life.

After a lone game in 1937 for Cleveland, Ken Keltner took over as their starting Third Baseman the following season.

Al Rosen made his first appearance for the Cleveland Indians in 1947, and this would be the only Major League team he ever played for.
