Ken Williams' contract was purchased from Portland of the Pacific Coast League in June of 1917, but he was drafted into the military in early 1918, so it was not until 1919 where he played 65 Games with a .300 Batting Average.  That wasn't bad, but e a breakout season the year after was about to come.

At one time, we are going to do the greatest players of defunct/relocated teams.  When we get to the St. Louis Browns, it will be without question, George Sisler.  As the Browns relocated to Baltimore to become the Orioles, Sisler has his spot here, and we will have quite a few players on this list that never played professionally in Baltimore.

After eight seasons as a professional baseball player, Bobby Wallace jumped from the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League to the St. Louis Browns of the American League.  The jump happened in 1902, and Wallace could very well be the best defensive Shortstop of the first decade of the American League's existence.

The greatest pitcher (in our eyes) when the franchise was located in St. Louis, is Urban Shocker, who also owns one of the best names in baseball.

For about six seasons, Bob Caruthers was considered one of the best pitchers in baseball.  Sadly, as his career only lasted nine seasons his impact in the game may not have allowed him to cement himself as one of the great early pitchers.

Seriously, is this not the coolest name on this list?  Just that name alone would make him a star in any era.  Make no mistake, Shocker was a star, but as his best years were with the St. Louis Browns, he was often not in the spotlight despite having dominating seasons in the early 1920s.
