Playing his entire pro career with the Minnesota Twins, Brad Radke had a good career, and while he gained his share of Wins, it was his consistency that he is most remembered for.
Del Pratt had a great rookie campaign in 1912, where the then St. Louis Brown had 172 Hits and a .302 Batting Average. The Second Baseman continued to do well, recording at least 159 Hits with 26 Stolen Bases and finishing first in Runs Batted In (103) in 1916. That was a good initial run, but all was not well in the city of St. Louis.
The Second Baseman had a poor 1917, and the Browns’ owner, Phil Ball, suggested that Pratt and other Browns players were deliberately playing badly with the hope of being traded. Ball suggested pay cuts for those players. Incensed that he was accused of dogging it, he and his teammate, Doc Lavan, sued Ball for slander. While the suit was eventually settled, Pratt was traded to the Yankees, which was good for both sides, as neither wanted to be around the other.
Pratt rebounded with New York, and he batted .314 in 1920. He was traded to the Boston Red Sox in 1921, where he batted .300 over his two seasons. He played two final years with the Detroit Tigers, again batting over .300 in those campaigns.
Pratt left the game four Hits shy of 2,000 with a Batting Average of .292.
Bill White began his career with the New York Giants in 1956m, but it was not until he made it to St. Louis in 1959 where his career began to take off.
George Mullin spent the first 11 years and change of his career with the Detroit Tigers, and while he is not one of the most well-known hurlers in Major League history, he was a major cog in the machine that was the Detroit Tigers in the late 1900s.
From 1905 to 1910, Mullin went five for six in terms of 20-Win seasons, leading the American League in Wins in 1909 with 29. The Tigers won the American League three years in a row (1907-09), and while he and Detroit could not win the Fall Classic, Mullin had a 1.86 ERA in his seven Playoff Games.
Mullin finished his pro career with two years in the Federal League. Overall, the right-hander had a career record of 228-196 with 1,482 Strikeouts.
