One of the greatest power hitters in major league history, Foxx broke in as a catcher, won fame as a first baseman, and filled in elsewhere, including several turns on the mound. The “Double X” was as impressive with his record as an RBI man.  Like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, he drove in over 100 runs in 13 seasons. Also hitting for average, he won the Triple Crown in 1933, one of three seasons he led the league in RBIs. Wilson was one of the National League's top catchers of the 1920s and 1930s. After catching more than 100 games for the first time in 1927, the native Philadelphian was traded to the Cardinals and helped them to pennants in 1928, 1930, and 1931. A respected handler of pitchers, he led NL catchers in putouts three times, double plays three times, and assists twice. He hit for average with little power, but had 20 or more doubles in five different seasons. Numbered Open Edition.
