                I know Willie Mays did it.The batter would most likely come after 1920.Mays is my first choice.

                            One of the all-time fluke seasons!
                            Your Second Base Coach
                            Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey started 833 times and the Dodgers went 498-335, for a .598 winning percentage. That’s equal to a team going 97-65 over a season. On those occasions when at least one of them missed his start, the Dodgers were 306-267-1, which is a .534 clip. That works out to a team going 87-75. So having all four of them added 10 wins to the Dodgers per year.

                              Frank "Wildfire" Schulte had a long productive career with the Chicago Cubs leading the team to their 1907 and 1908 World Series victories. A power hitting outfielder, he swung the largest bat in the NL and hit four grand slam home runs in 1911. He also stole home 22 times in his career. He won the Chalmers Award in 1911, the forerunner of the MVP Award.

                              I first ran across him when researching the Groton Coronas semipro baseball team of the late 1910's. Schulte was 38 or 39 at the time, and the Smith Corona backed team signed him to a contract to play right field (and perhaps help make typewriters during the work week). In one game played here in the city that I now live in, Schulte poked two balls over the right fielder's head for very long doubles. One of Schulte's teammates on the Coronas was Wild Bill Hallahan who got his start with the typewriter manufacturers.

                              Imagine having the former NL MVP winner playing for your local semipro team after he retired!
