Harry Heilmann benefited from Ty Cobb’s guidance (you see, someone did!) and was one of the smoothest hitters of the 1920’s.  Heilmann would win the Batting Title four times (all with an average over .390) and the lowest he hit that decade was .328.  While he was not exactly part of the power boom of the 20’s, he still finished in the top five in Slugging six times and exceeded the 1.000 plateau in OPS five times.  

The deadball era was a long time ago but there are still some records that exist to this day, two of which are the most Triples of all time and the most inside the park Home Runs in a season.  Those are held by “Wahoo” Sam Crawford, who played most of his career with Detroit.

“The Mechanical Man”, Charlie Gehringer was as good a baseball player as he was quiet, and considering he was known for not talking much, you can imagine that he was a pretty good baseball player!
