The son of Ken Griffey Sr., Ken Griffey Jr., was bred for baseball greatness.

Drafted first overall in the 1987 Amateur Draft, Griffey would debut as a teenager in 1989, where he had a sweet rookie year, with 120 Hits and 16 Home Runs.  That was a good start, but that was just the beginning of what would be one of the most exceptional baseball careers of all time.

Miguel Tejada signed with Oakland as an Amateur Free Agent from the Dominican Republic in 1993, and he would crack the main roster in 1997.  Tejada would be the starting Shortstop in 1999, where he would establish himself as one of the best power-hitting infielders in the game.  From 2000 to 2002, he would have 30 Home Runs, and from 2000 to 2003, he was able to secure at least 100 RBIs.  Tejada was an All-Star in 2002, the year he had 24 Home Runs, 131 RBIs, and a .308 Batting Average.  For his efforts, he would win the American League MVP.

Mark Ellis is not the first name you come up with on a “best of” list, but the fact remains that he accumulated over 1,000 Hits with the team, which is an impressive feat for any franchise.

An old rookie at 26 with the Washington Senators, Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics would trade for him, and from 1922 to 1925, he had three .300 seasons, and in the one year he didn't hit that mark, he batted .299.  He was deemed expendable and was dealt with the St. Louis Browns in 1926, but was back in 1928.
