To add to wht Oscar said in the previous addition; Sewell made the hall-of-fame based on a career where he hit .312 in 7132 at bats including five seasons going over 90 RBI (including 2 over 100), scored 90-100 runs seven times, had 40 or more doubles 5 times (436 in 13 years), hit .300 or better 9 times (and .299 once), and struck out a mere 114 times in 7976 plate appearences or once in every 70 times at bat! This remarkable stat included seasons where he K'd 4 times in 672 AB's (once every 168 times), 4 times in 626 AB's (once every 157), 4 times in 585 AB's (once every 146), and 3 times in 559 AB's (once every 186). I don't know what kind of pitching could have produced such unprecedented totals but the fact that that Sewell averaged more than thirty three doubles and five triples per season while driving in about 80 runs a year means he was doing a little more than just slapping the ball around. Note: None of these totals include either sacrifice bunts or flies.

20's/ 30's shortstop with Cleveland and later The Yankees, one of the best shortstops of his day, also played third towards the end. Remembered mostly for being extremely, extremely tough to strike out at the plate, and for replacing the fine shortstop Ray Chapman who was killed by a pitch in '20.
