Jimmie Foxx was signed by the Philadelphia Athletics as a teen in 1925, and he would emerge as one of the most lethal power hitters in not just Athletic history but that of all of Baseball.

Rickey Henderson is a lot of things.  He is eccentric.  He often refers to himself in the third person.  He is the greatest leadoff hitter ever.  He is the ultimate base stealer.  He was a first ballot Hall of Famer.

There were a lot of different players to consider when we were looking at the greatest Athletic of all-time.

There have been a lot of unlikely Cy Young winners over the years, but perhaps nobody more shocking than Rick Sutcliffe, who won the NL version of 1984.  This is not because he wasn't a good Pitcher or a flash in the pan but because he never arrived in the National League until June 13.
