outshone by teammate Ty Cobb from 1905-1917, but a fantastic player in his own right
his 2961 hits were 649 above league average, tied with Paul Waner for 21st best all-time
his 309 triples are the most in history, besting Cobb by 13
his .152 OPS better than league average ranks 62nd all-time

None.

Nor was there anybody else from Wahoo, any other state (that is, if such places even exist).
