Day 3- HENRY KIMBRO

always a great defensive player, relatively patient at plate (high OBP). Got more patient in later years and had best years at 34-35 ⬇️

Day 2- TURKEY STEARNES

An amazing 5-tool player, gave up ~50lbs to Gibson & Suttles, yet Satchel & orders mention Stearnes in the same breath as a power hitter. Consistently super-high OPS+

Josh Gibson at bat, Homestead Grays
