Lyons, Jimmie
Comparable speed-wise to Cool Papa Bell, according to JAR, and one of those complete ballplayers every club needs - great on D, good bunter and spray hitter to move the runners along - and it's little surprise he was a favourite of Rube Foster, the champion of NeL SmallBall. Not much pop, but with all those other tools didn't really need it.
MLEs are - IMHO - overly harsh on him and I have squared that up with a 110% POT.
