Jimmy Ryan Marquee

In 1888 he led the National League with 182 hits, 33 doubles and 16 home runs, which is a combination almost nobody achieves. Eighteen seasons gave him 2,513 hits, 451 doubles, 157 triples, 1,643 runs, 419 stolen bases and a .308 average.

He played sixteen of them in Chicago and pitched in 24 games besides, winning six. He is one of three nineteenth-century outfielders — with George Van Haltren and Lave Cross among the hitters of that period — whose totals have kept them permanently under consideration and never got them elected.

Twelve committees have taken up his name since 1953. He was reported to have been badly hurt in a train wreck in 1893 and to have played on. He died in 1923, at sixty.
