Tris Speaker was an American baseball player who is regarded as one of the sport's all-time greatest players. He holds the record for career doubles, as well as records as an outfielder for assists, double plays, and unassisted double plays.

Speaker debuted with the Boston Red Sox in 1907 and quickly became a regular, later leading the Red Sox to World Series championships in 1912 and 1915.

When Speaker was traded to the Cleveland Indians in 1916, he served there as player-manager and led that team to its first World Series win. Subsequently Speaker played for the Washington Senators (1927) and Philadelphia Athletics (1928).

After his Major League Baseball career ended, Speaker worked in the minor leagues as a manager and was part-owner of the Kansas City Blues..." (https://www.onthisday.com/people/tris-speaker)

"When a player reaches his 3,000th career hit, they’re usually no longer at the peak of their game.

For Tris Speaker, the year of his milestone marked the best year ever – measured by batting average – of his stellar career.

Speaker became the fifth member of the 3,000-hit club on May 17, 1925..." ( Written by: Craig Muder) (https://baseballhall.org/discover/inside-pitch/speaker-joins-3000-hit-club)
