One of six ballplaying brothers from Cleveland - and the one who lasted the longest - Jim Delahanty's career stretched from the year the American League started until the year the Federal League ended.

He played for eight different major league teams and in a move that might sound like it came from 2009 instead of 1909, was dealt by the tail-end Senators to the front-running Tigers for top catching prospect Red Killefer and veteran Germany Schaefer...on August 13th!

Delahanty went on to lead the Tigers with a .346 average (including five doubles) in the '09 World Series in which Ty Cobb fizzled.
