Gavvy Cravath did not make the Majors until he was 27, where he spent 94 Games in 1908.  He did not make the best impression, and he bounced around the following year from the minors and had stints with the Chicago White Sox and Washington Senators, and then it was back to the minors.  It would have been easy to think that this would be it for the slow-footed Rightfielder, but he found a home in Philadelphia in 1912.

Gavvy Cravath did not make his MLB debut until he was 27 with the Red Sox but he was bemoaned as being too slow to be an effective player by fans, management, and teammates alike.  He would bounce around until a clerical error at the age of 31 gave him a second chance with the Phillies and he certainly made the most of the opportunity.
