Rudy York was known mostly for his time with the Detroit Tigers, and it was there where he had his greatest success.

While Rudy York had his most productive years in World War II he was still seven-time All-Star (thus reflecting that he was still a great player when MLB was stacked).  York would smack 20 Home Runs in seven consecutive seasons, including winning the Home Run Title in 1943.  That year, he also led the American League in Slugging Percentage and Runs Batted In and finished third in MVP voting.  With Detroit, he would smack 239 Home Runs with 1,317 Hits and a Slash Line of .282/.369/.503.
