Legend:

They called him the “Fordham Flash”, because of his quickness at 2B to field grounders, which resulted in him producing a career range factor well above league average. His speedy legs did not only help him be a “stud” defensively, but also on the base pads offensively, as a total of 419 stolen bases helped him on his way to Cooperstown. The 3000-hit club, this player may not be a part of, and it may be due to the fact that he only appeared in 2311 games, but three 200+ hit seasons were produced throughout a wonderful. He was not have been a home run hitter, but that wasn’t this player’s role. This star was a contact hitter, who hit a total of over 400 doubles and 100 triples throughout a Hall of Fame career. Sure, the great numbers help him out, but what about the contributions to the team? Over a 19-year career playing for the New York Giants then the Cardinals, 4 rings were collected with a batting average of .294 in 50 playoff games. And by the way, this Cooperstown member, was worth at least 3.7 wins/season, alone (which is usually in the top 5 each season for the WAR leaders). His name, is Frankie Frisch; one of the most underrated position players of the 19th century.
