Why the player matters
Tris Speaker
"The Grey Eagle" played the shallowest center field of his day — almost a fifth infielder — and still holds the career record for doubles (792). Traded from Boston to Cleveland in 1916, he arrived just after Jackson left for Chicago, and as player-manager he led Cleveland to the 1920 championship the same season the Black Sox scandal broke. He entered the Hall of Fame in 1937.
