Let me introduce a few more great players of the past to you.

The all-time Hits leader is 1B Paul Wilson. He just retired prior to this year and he has 3250 hits. Paul was an 8-time all-star and won the Batter of the Year award in 1921 when he hit .317-43-110. 1921 was also his only year making the playoffs. Paul was the # 3 overall pick of Albuquerque in 1907. He played for 4 teams in his career, Albuquerque, Orlando, Cincinnati, and St Louis. All of his All-Star years came with Orl and Cin. He won 9 Platinum Gloves with 7 being at First and 2 being at Third. Paul also had 2-20 game hit streaks and 1-23 game.

Avg .291, H 3250 (1), HR 537 (4), 2B 531 (3), RBI 1742 (4), R 1731 (4), BB 1147 (19)

The # 2 Hits man is OF Joseph Mahon. Joseph was the $ 3 overall pick of Orlando in 1909. Joseph is thisclose to Paul's hit record as he retired with 3246 hits. Joseph is a 12 time all-star and has won 3 Platinum Gloves, 2 in Left and 1 in Center. Joseph has also made the playoffs twice, winning a Championship in 1917 with Baskersfield. Joseph played for Orlando and Bakersfield... he also spent his last year with Dayton. It's tough to pick a best year for Joseph. His highest OPS was a tie so here are those two years. 1919 .306-41-102 and 1920 .336-28-77. He led the league in Steals 6 times.

Avg .299, H 3246 (2), HR 479 (12), RBI 1615 (10), 2B 441 (13), R 1980 (2), BB 1243 (11), SB 873 (1).

It's time to bring back someone already mentioned once. Pitcher Bruce Oles of Miami fame. Bruce was the 2nd round pick of Miami in 1904 and he spent basically his whole career in Miami except for the last part of his last year. Bruce won the Newcomer of the Year award in 1911 when he was 11-6 4.15. He made playoff appearances in 7 seasons going 5-3 3.32. He won 4 World Championships. Bruce owns 6 Pitcher of the Year awards, the author of 1 no-hitter and also a 9-time all-star. He was quite dominant throughout his career but his best season in my opinion is 1914 when he went 27-3 1.94, 12 complete games, 6 shutouts, and 240 strikeouts.

ERA 2.83 (5), W 256 (5), L 134, K 3181 (12), SHO 40 (5), IP 3597, CG 91, WHIP 1.08
