 Al Simmons
The swaggering, hard-striking Simmons was a key component of the Philadelphia Athletics who won the AL pennant from 1929 to 1931, and who captured the World Series in 1929 and 1930.
His nickname comes from his unusual batting stance, which was such that he would step away from the plate and towards third base as he hit the ball - putting his front foot "in the bucket" as it were.
Although he made batting instructors cringe, Simmons went on to compile more hits than any right-handed American League batter until Al Kaline.
