Hall of Fame Right Fielders

Did you know that Cap Anson, who was the manager of the Chicago Nationals at the time, credited Mike "King" Kelly with originating the hit and run play?

Harry Heilmann played with Ty Cobb in Detroit and combined for one of the most powerful one-two punches in baseball. "The Slug" won four batting titles and each was on an odd year: 1921, 1923, 1925, and 1927.

How good was Ross Youngs? The legendary John McGraw called him, "the greatest outfielder" and though his career ended at the age of thirty due to a kidney disorder, he had hit over .300 ever year of his career but one.
