Goose Goslin Marquee Hall of Fame 1968

He hit .316 over eighteen seasons, with 2,735 hits, 500 doubles, 173 triples, and 1,609 runs driven in. He led the American League in runs batted in once, with 129 in 1924, and in triples in 1923 and 1925. Washington played its home games in Griffith Stadium, where left field ran a long way out.

The Senators won their only World Series with him in 1924, and pennants in 1925 and 1933. A trade sent him to the St. Louis Browns during 1930, and he hit thirty home runs in 101 games there, more than in any full season he had played in Washington.

Detroit took him for 1934 and won the pennant, then won the 1935 World Series, the franchise's first, on his single in the ninth inning of the final game. The writers never gave him more than thirty votes. The Veterans Committee elected him in 1968, three years before he died.
