Ed Delahanty- Big Ed got 9 of his 16 years in the Replay League. He spent his whole career with the Phillies and played until age 41 in 1909.

Delahanty's numbers were as follows-

10364 AB (42nd), 3373 H (18th), .325 BA (18th), .854 OPS (92nd), 1906 R (19th), 677 doubles (11th), 205 triples (T-11th), 114 HR, 1814 RBI (22nd), 477 SB (66th), 82.5 WAR (43rd)

A lot of the production from Delahanty was in his Pre-Replay years, but he did put up a few good seasons. His best season, surprisingly, was in 1906 at age 38! He hit .337/.410/.488, 47 doubles, 6 triples, 6 HR, 86 R, 91 RBI, 6 SB, 7.8 WAR. He led the league that year in BA, SLG, OPS, doubles and RBI. He had 4 other years where he hit over .300, but his only other time he led the league in anything was in 1903 when he led in doubles with 42.

Despite never winning a World Series, Ed did win a Playoff MVP award. He also won two Gold Gloves, three Silver Sluggers, and had three All-Star selections. In 1915, his first year of eligibility, Delahanty was elected into the HOF with 99.2% of the vote. His pre-Replay days really drove his HOF numbers, but he was a very good player and his total numbers definitely warrant his election.
