gold star for USAHOF

14. Buddy Myer

Save for a couple of productive seasons with the Boston Red Sox early in his career, Buddy Myer was a career member of the Washington Senators, the team he began and ended his career with.  Myer had six seasons where he batted over .300, one of which saw him bat .349, enough to win him the American League Batting Title in 1935.  He was named an All Star that year and again in 1937.  Myer, who batted .303 as a Senator with 1,828 Hits, was probably known best for a brawl with Ben Chapman (the racist Yankee who would become an even more racist manager with the Phillies who taunted Jackie Robinson) after he taunted Myer for his Jewish heritage.

15. Clyde Milan

Nicknamed “Deerfoot” for his speed on the basepaths, Clyde Milan would collect 2,100 Hits in a career that was spent only with the Washington Senators.  His best run was from 1911 to 1913, where he batted over. 300 in each season, and would twice lead the American League in Stolen Bases, the first of which (88) would set a modern record at the time.  In each of those years, he finished in the top ten in MVP voting.

Milan batted .285 with 495 Stolen Bases over his career.

22. Bob Allison

Playing his entire career with the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins, the versatile outfielder was known for his cannon of an arm and pop with a bat.  Allison, the 1959 Rookie of the Year, would have eight seasons where he hit more than 20 Home Runs, which included a 35 HR season where he would lead the American League in OPS and WAR.  He would make the All-Star Team three times, and accumulate 1,281 Hits for the team.

The Twins inducted Allison into their Hall of Fame in 2003.
Mickey Vernon would accumulate 1,993 of his 2,495 Hits with the Washington Senators and smacked enough so that he could win two Batting Titles (1946 & 1953).  Vernon was chosen to play in five All-Star Games and in 1953 he finished third in MVP voting.  He also had two more top ten finishes in MVP voting while playing for Washington.  Had Vernon even been average defensively (he never had one season where he had a positive Defensive bWAR as a Senator) his ranking would be significantly higher.

9. Goose Goslin

A major offensive force behind the Washington Senators back-to-back appearances in the World Series, Outfielder, Goose Goslin, played the first half of his career in D.C..  Goslin was a hitting machine, winning the American League Batting in 1928 and boasting a Batting Average over .300 five times.  Goslin would finish in the top ten in MVP voting three times as a Senator and showed power for the team with 127 Home Runs with a .502 Slugging Percentage.  He would be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1968.

11. Joe Judge

Joe Judge played 2,084 of his 2,171 career games with the Washington Senators, and while the First Baseman was not what would you call a perennial All-Star, he was a player who could be considered well above average and freakishly consistent. 

Judge was not a large man, even by the standards in when he played but he was a tenacious player both in offense and defense.  Eight times, he would bat over .300, had well over 2,000 Hits as a Senator, and would also be a consistent leader in most defensive metrics at First. 

He may not be a Hall of Famer, but he was a large part of the 1924 World Series Championship Team.
Considered by many baseball historians to be the first reliever of prominence, Firpo Marberry would lead the American League in Pitching Appearances six times and is the first (retroactively) to score 20 Saves in a season.  Marberry’s versatility to go from the starting rotation to the bullpen with ease made him an invaluable asset and a player ahead of his time.  Marberry’s pitching acumen made him a vital component in the Senators’ World Series Championship win in 1924.
“The Big Train”, Walter Johnson is not just the greatest Pitcher in Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins history.  He has a case as the greatest Pitcher of all time.

Johnson only played for the Washington Senators and his accomplishments are earth shattering:

7. Sam Rice

Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1963 via the Veteran’s Committee, Sam Rice was a Washington Senator for all but his final season in MLB.  Rice smacked 2,987 Hits over his career (2,889 with Washington) and would lead the AL in Hits twice and had over 200 Hits in a season six times.  As expected, he would have thirteen seasons where he batted over .300 and had a career Batting Average for the Senators of .323.  Rice was also a fleet footed player who won the Stolen Base crown in 1920 and swiped 346 overall bases a Senator.
Although Camilo Pasucal was a five-time All-Star over his tenure with the Washington Senators/Minnesota Twins, the Cuban is a somewhat underappreciated player historically.  Dubbed “The Little Potato” (in reference to his older brother, Carlos, who was nicknamed (The Potato”) Pascual was a three-time Strikeout Champion and would win 20 Games twice.  While Pascual would not finish in the top ten in MVP voting, he did receive a smattering of votes in three different seasons.

Pascual went 145-141 for the franchise, fanning 1,885 Strikeouts.  The Twins inducted him into their franchise Hall of Fame in 2012.
