Mitchell actually had a hell of a career.
1985-1992 Detroit
1993-1996 NY Giants
1997-2002 Senators
Mitchell hit 459 homeruns. Mitchell won 5 pennants with 3 different teams. twice with detroit. once with new york. twice with washington. However, he went 0-5 in the world series(bad luck). He went to 7 all-star games, and hit 40 homeruns twice. In 1996 with the Giants, and at the age of 38 in 2000 with the Senators. Had over 2400 hits.
Joe Morgan
Now I'm not a big fan of Morgan as a commentator but just like in real life, he was one of the best second basemen ever.
1964-1972 Phillies
1973-1981 Browns
Morgan's career average was .295 with a career obp of .420. Hit over 300 homeruns. and had over 2400 hits. Unfortunately he never made the playoffs. Don't let the somewhat low career numbers fool you. This guy played in a major pitchers era. He led his league in runs 3 times. He led the league in walks 6 times. Led the league in intentional walks 5 times. Led the league in obp 7 times. Sluggling percentage twice. He got 5 mvps, 5 gold gloves, and made the all-star game 14 times.
Harvey Haddix
Haddix played from 52 to 62 with the Boston Braves. He was never more than a backup with a season high of 89 at bats. career average of .210. However, in 52 and 53 he won back to back world series titles with the Braves. He went 3 for 9 with a walk, a double, and 3 rbis in those championships combined.
