Napoleon Lajoie ( /ˈlæʒəweɪ/ ; September 5 , 1874 - February 7 , 1959 ) , also known as Larry Lajoie and nicknamed The Frenchman , was an American professional baseball second baseman and player-manager . He played in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) for the Philadelphia Phillies , Philadelphia Athletics ( twice ) , and Cleveland Naps between 1896 and 1916 . He managed the Naps from 1905 through 1909 . Lajoie was signed to the National League 's ( NL ) Phillies in 1896 . By the beginning of the twentieth century , however , the upstart American League ( AL ) was looking to rival the supremacy of the NL and in 1901 , Lajoie and dozens of former National League players joined the American League . National League clubs contested the legality of contracts signed by players who jumped to the other league but eventually , Lajoie was allowed to play for Connie Mack 's Athletics . During the season , Lajoie set the all-time American League single-season mark for the highest batting average ( .426 ) . : p.76 : p.88 One year later , Lajoie went to the Cleveland Bronchos where he would play until the 1915 season when he returned to play for Mack and the Athletics . While with Cleveland , Lajoie 's popularity led to locals electing to change the club 's team name from Bronchos to Napoleons ( Naps for short ) , which remained until after Lajoie departed Cleveland and the name was changed to Indians ( the team 's present-day name ) . Lajoie led the AL in batting average five times in his career and four times recorded the highest number of hits . During several of those years with the Naps he and Ty Cobb dominated AL hitting categories and traded batting titles with each other , most notably coming in 1910 , when the league 's batting champion was not decided until well after the last game of the season and after an investigation by American League President Ban Johnson . Lajoie in 1914 joined Cap Anson and Honus Wagner as the only major league players to record 3,000 career hits .
The Oakland Athletics , a current Major League Baseball franchise , originated in Philadelphia . This article details the history of the Philadelphia Athletics , from 1901 to 1954 , when they moved to Kansas City .
Harry H. Davis ( July 19 , 1873 - August 11 , 1947 ) was a Major League Baseball first baseman who played for the New York Giants ( 1895-96 ) , Pittsburgh Pirates ( 1896-98 ) , Louisville Colonels ( 1898 ) , Washington Senators ( 1898-99 ) , Philadelphia Athletics ( 1901-11 , 1913-17 ) , and Cleveland Naps ( 1912 ) .
Edward James Delahanty ( October 30 , 1867 - July 2 , 1903 ) , nicknamed Big Ed , was an American professional baseball player , who spent his Major League Baseball ( MLB ) playing career with the Philadelphia Quakers , Cleveland Infants , Philadelphia Phillies , and Washington Senators . He was renowned as one of the game 's early power hitters , and while primarily a left fielder , also spent time as an infielder . Delahanty won a batting title , batted over .400 three times , and has the fifth-highest career batting average in MLB history . He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame , in 1945 . Delahanty died falling into Niagara Falls or the Niagara River , after being removed from a train while intoxicated . Delahanty 's biographer argues that :
The Washington Senators baseball team was one of the American League 's eight charter franchises . Now known as the Minnesota Twins , the club was founded in Washington , D.C. in 1901 as the Washington Senators . In 1905 , the team changed its official name to the Washington Nationals . The name Nationals appeared on the uniforms for only two seasons , and was then replaced with the W logo for the next 52 years . However , the names Senators , Nationals and shorter Nats were used interchangeably by fans and media for the next 60 years ; in 2005 , the latter two names were revived for the current National League franchise that had previously played in Montreal . For a time , from 1911 to 1933 , the Senators were one of the more successful franchises in Major League Baseball . The team 's rosters included Baseball Hall of Fame members Goose Goslin , Sam Rice , Joe Cronin , Bucky Harris , Heinie Manush and one of the greatest players and pitchers of all time , Walter Johnson . But the Senators are remembered more for their many years of mediocrity and futility , including six last-place finishes in the 1940s and 1950s . Joe Judge , Cecil Travis , Buddy Myer , Roy Sievers and Eddie Yost were other notable Senators players whose careers were spent in obscurity due to the team 's lack of success .
Ralph Orlando Socks Seybold ( November 23 , 1870 - December 22 , 1921 ) was an outfielder in Major League Baseball . He played over parts of nine seasons with the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Athletics . Known as a power hitter , Seybold set the American League record for home runs in 1902 , which would not be broken until 1919 . He stood at 5 ft 11 in ( 1.80 m ) and weighed 200 lbs .
The Cleveland Indians are an American professional baseball team based in Cleveland , Ohio . They compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the American League ( AL ) Central division . Since 1994 , they have played at Progressive Field . The team 's spring training facility is at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear , Arizona . Since their establishment as a major league franchise in 1901 , the team has won 10 Central Division titles , six American League pennants , and two World Series championships , ( in 1920 and 1948 ) . The team 's current 71-year World Series championship drought is the longest active among all 30 current Major League teams . The name Indians originated from a request by club owner Charles Somers to baseball writers to choose a new name to replace Cleveland Naps following the departure of Nap Lajoie after the 1914 season . It was a revival of the nickname that fans gave to the Cleveland Spiders while Louis Sockalexis , a Native American , was playing for the team . Common nicknames for the Indians include the Tribe and the Wahoos , the latter referencing their former logo , Chief Wahoo . The team 's mascot is named Slider . The franchise originated in 1894 as the Grand Rapids Rustlers , a minor league team in the Western League . The team relocated to Cleveland in 1900 and was renamed the Cleveland Lake Shores .
Tyrus Raymond Cobb ( December 18 , 1886 - July 17 , 1961 ) , nicknamed The Georgia Peach , was an American Major League Baseball ( MLB ) outfielder . He was born in rural Narrows , Georgia . Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers , the last six as the team 's player-manager , and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics . In 1936 Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot , receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes ( 98.2% ) ; no other player received a higher percentage of votes until Tom Seaver in 1992 . In 1999 , editors at the Sporting News ranked Ty Cobb third on their list of Baseball 's 100 Greatest Players . Cobb is widely credited with setting 90 MLB records during his career . His combined total of 4,065 runs scored and runs batted in ( after adjusting for home runs ) is still the highest ever produced by any major league player . He still holds several records as of the end of the 2019 season , including the highest career batting average ( .366 or .367 , depending on source ) and most career batting titles with 11 ( or 12 , depending on source ) . He retained many other records for almost a half century or more , including most career hits until 1985 ( 4,189 or 4,191 , depending on source ) , most career runs ( 2,245 or 2,246 depending on source ) until 2001 , most career games played ( 3,035 ) and at bats ( 11,429 or 11,434 depending on source ) until 1974 , and the modern record for most career stolen bases ( 892 ) until 1977 . He still holds the career record for stealing home ( 54 times ) and for stealing second base , third base , and home in succession ( 5 times ) , and as the youngest player ever to compile 4,000 hits and score 2,000 runs . Cobb ranks fifth all-time in number of games played and committed 271 errors , the most by any American League ( AL ) outfielder . Cobb 's legacy , which includes a large college scholarship fund for Georgia residents financed by his early investments in Coca-Cola and General Motors , has been somewhat tarnished by allegations of racism and violence , largely stemming from a couple of largely-discredited biographies that were released following his death .
The Detroit Tigers are an American professional baseball team based in Detroit , Michigan . They compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member of the American League ( AL ) Central division . One of the AL 's eight charter franchises , the club was founded in Detroit as a member of the minor league Western League in 1894 and is the only Western League team still in its original city . They are also the oldest continuous one name , one city franchise in the AL . Since their establishment as a major league franchise in 1901 , the Tigers have won four World Series championships ( 1935 , 1945 , 1968 , and 1984 ) , 11 AL pennants ( 1907 , 1908 , 1909 , 1934 , 1935 , 1940 , 1945 , 1968 , 1984 , 2006 , 2012 ) , and four AL Central division championships ( 2011 , 2012 , 2013 , and 2014 ) . They also won division titles in 1972 , 1984 , and 1987 as a member of the AL East . The team currently plays its home games at Comerica Park in Downtown Detroit . The Tigers constructed Bennett Park at the corner of Michigan Avenue and Trumbull Avenue in Corktown ( just west of Downtown Detroit ) and began playing there in 1896 . In 1912 , the team moved into Navin Field , which was built on the same location . It was expanded in 1938 and renamed Briggs Stadium . It was renamed Tiger Stadium in 1961 and the Tigers played there until moving to Comerica Park in 2000 . From 1901 to 2019 , the Tigers ' overall win-loss record is 9,346-9,191 ( a winning percentage of .504 ) .
Samuel Earl Crawford ( April 18 , 1880 - June 15 , 1968 ) , nicknamed Wahoo Sam , was an American outfielder in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) . Crawford batted and threw left-handed , stood 6 ft 0 in ( 1.83 m ) tall and weighed 190 pounds ( 86 kg ) . Born in Wahoo , Nebraska , he had a short minor league baseball career before entering the majors with the Cincinnati Reds in 1899 . He played for the Reds until 1902 . Crawford then joined the Detroit Tigers and played for Detroit from 1903 to 1917 . He was one of the greatest sluggers of his era , leading his league in home runs twice and in runs batted in three times . He still holds the MLB record for most career triples , with 309 . While with the Tigers , Crawford played alongside superstar Ty Cobb , and the two had an intense rivalry while also helping Detroit win three American League championships from 1907 to 1909 . After his MLB career ended , Crawford moved to California , where he lived the rest of his life . He was a player and umpire in the Pacific Coast League and was a coach at the University of Southern California . He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1957 .
Tristram Edgar Speaker ( April 4 , 1888 - December 8 , 1958 ) , nicknamed The Gray Eagle , was an American professional baseball player . Considered one of the best offensive and defensive center fielders in the history of Major League Baseball ( MLB ) , he compiled a career batting average of .345 ( sixth all-time ) . His 792 career doubles represent an MLB career record . His 3,514 hits are fifth in the all-time hits list . Defensively , Speaker holds career records for assists , double plays , and unassisted double plays by an outfielder . His fielding glove was known as the place where triples go to die . After playing in the minor leagues in Texas and Arkansas , Speaker debuted with the Boston Red Sox in 1907 . He became the regular center fielder by 1909 and led the Red Sox to World Series championships in 1912 and 1915 . In 1915 , Speaker 's batting average dropped to .322 from .338 the previous season ; he was traded to the Cleveland Indians when he refused to take a pay cut . As player-manager for Cleveland , he led the team to its first World Series title . In ten of his eleven seasons with Cleveland , he finished with a batting average greater than .350 . Speaker resigned as Cleveland 's manager in 1926 after he and Ty Cobb faced game fixing allegations ; both men were later cleared .
The Boston Red Sox are an American professional baseball team based in Boston , Massachusetts . They compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the American League ( AL ) East division . The team have won nine World Series championships , tied for the third-most of any MLB team , and they have played in 13 . Their most recent World Series appearance and win was in 2018 . In addition , they won the 1904 American League pennant , but were not able to defend their 1903 World Series championship when the New York Giants refused to participate in the 1904 World Series . Founded in 1901 as one of the American League 's eight charter franchises , the Red Sox ' home ballpark has been Fenway Park since 1912 . The Red Sox name was chosen by the team owner , John I. Taylor , circa 1908 , following the lead of previous teams that had been known as the Boston Red Stockings , including the forerunner of the Atlanta Braves . The Red Sox were a dominant team in the new league , defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first World Series in 1903 and winning four more championships by 1918 . However , they then went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history , dubbed the Curse of the Bambino after its alleged inception due to the Red Sox ' sale of Babe Ruth to the rival New York Yankees two years after their world championship in 1918 , an 86-year wait before the team 's sixth World Championship in 2004 . The team 's history during that period was punctuated with some of the most memorable moments in World Series history , including Enos Slaughter 's mad dash in 1946 , the Impossible Dream of 1967 , Carlton Fisk 's home run in 1975 , and Bill Buckner 's error in 1986 . Following their victory in the 2018 World Series , they became the first team to win four World Series trophies in the 21st century , with championships in 2004 , 2007 , 2013 and 2018 . The team 's history has also been marked by the team 's intense rivalry with the New York Yankees , arguably the fiercest and most historic in North American professional sports .
Joseph Jefferson Jackson ( July 16 , 1887 - December 5 , 1951 ) , nicknamed Shoeless Joe , was an American outfielder who played Major League Baseball ( MLB ) in the early 1900s . He is remembered for his performance on the field and for his association with the Black Sox Scandal , in which members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox participated in a conspiracy to fix the World Series . As a result of Jackson 's association with the scandal , Kenesaw Mountain Landis , Major League Baseball 's first commissioner , banned Jackson from playing after the 1920 season despite his exceptional play in the 1919 World Series , in which he led both teams in several statistical categories and set a World Series record with 12 base hits . Since then , Jackson 's guilt has been fiercely debated with new accounts claiming his innocence and urging Major League Baseball to reconsider his banishment . As a result of the scandal , Jackson 's career was abruptly halted in his prime , ensuring him a place in baseball lore . Jackson played for three Major League teams during his 12-year career . He spent 1908-1909 as a member of the Philadelphia Athletics and 1910 with the minor league New Orleans Pelicans before joining the Cleveland Naps at the end of the 1910 season . He remained in Cleveland through the first part of 1915 ; he played the remainder of the 1915 season through 1920 with the Chicago White Sox . Later in life , Jackson played ball under assumed names throughout the south . Jackson , who played left field for most of his career , currently has the third-highest career batting average in major league history . In 1911 , Jackson hit for a .408 average . It is still the sixth-highest single-season total since 1901 , which marked the beginning of the modern era for the sport .
Robert Hayes Bobby Veach ( June 29 , 1888 - August 7 , 1945 ) was an American baseball player from 1910 to 1930 including 14 seasons in the major leagues . He was the starting left fielder for the Detroit Tigers from 1912 to 1923 and also played for the Boston Red Sox ( 1924-1925 ) , New York Yankees ( 1925 ) and Washington Senators ( 1925 ) . Veach hit for both power and average . He compiled a .310 career batting average and finished second to Ty Cobb for the 1919 American League batting title with a .355 average . He also led the American League in runs batted in ( RBIs ) three times ( 1915 , 1917 , and 1918 ) and was among the league leaders 10 times . Nobody in baseball had as many RBIs or extra base hits as Veach from 1915 to 1922 . Veach was also among the best defensive outfielders of his era , regularly ranking among the league leaders in putouts , range factor , and fielding percentage . Despite being one of the most productive hitters in baseball during his years in Detroit , Veach played in the shadows of three Detroit outfielders who won 16 batting titles and were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame : Cobb in center field and Sam Crawford followed by Harry Heilmann in right field . Detroit 's 1915 outfield consisting of Veach , Cobb , and Crawford has been ranked by baseball historian and statistician Bill James as the greatest outfield in history .
John Gladstone Graney ( June 10 , 1886 - April 20 , 1978 ) was a Canadian left fielder in Major League Baseball who played his entire career with the Cleveland Indians . Following his playing days , Graney became a baseball radio broadcaster , providing play-by-play , for the Indians in 1932-53 . Graney was inducted into the Cleveland Indians Distinguished Hall of Fame for non-uniformed personnel on August 11 , 2012 , prior to a game at Progressive Field .
The Cleveland Indians are an American professional baseball team based in Cleveland , Ohio . They compete in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) as a member club of the American League ( AL ) Central division . Since 1994 , they have played at Progressive Field . The team 's spring training facility is at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear , Arizona . Since their establishment as a major league franchise in 1901 , the team has won 10 Central Division titles , six American League pennants , and two World Series championships , ( in 1920 and 1948 ) . The team 's current 71-year World Series championship drought is the longest active among all 30 current Major League teams . The name Indians originated from a request by club owner Charles Somers to baseball writers to choose a new name to replace Cleveland Naps following the departure of Nap Lajoie after the 1914 season . It was a revival of the nickname that fans gave to the Cleveland Spiders while Louis Sockalexis , a Native American , was playing for the team . Common nicknames for the Indians include the Tribe and the Wahoos , the latter referencing their former logo , Chief Wahoo . The team 's mascot is named Slider . The franchise originated in 1894 as the Grand Rapids Rustlers , a minor league team in the Western League . The team relocated to Cleveland in 1900 and was renamed the Cleveland Lake Shores .
