Jimmie Foxx

Jimmie Foxx is one of those names that every serious baseball fan should know but somehow doesn't get mentioned enough outside of stat-nerd circles, and that's a genuine shame. This guy out of tiny Sudlersville, Maryland was an absolute force of nature at the plate — they called him "Double X" and "the Beast," and those nicknames weren't ironic. He won three American League MVP awards, two of them back-to-back in 1932 and 1933, which tells you everything about how dominant he was during his prime. When he retired, only Babe Ruth had hit more home runs, and his RBI total was among the all-time best. Playing through the Great Depression era, Foxx gave fans something real to cheer for, and the fact that the Boston Red Sox eventually put him in their own Hall of Fame feels like the least they could do for a player of that magnitude.
