23. Brooklyn Dodgers select

Joe Gordon

- 2b

Legendary Hall of Fame manager, Joe McCarthy, considered Joe Gordon “the greatest all-around ballplayers I ever saw…” Flash Gordon, named after the comic-book character, was a slick-fielding, hard-hitting second baseman who catapulted himself through the minor league ranks with acrobatic snares and solid defense, as well as exceptional power not often seen from a second bagger. During his 11-year career, Gordon averaged 26 home runs per season and drove in 101 runs each season on average. The nine time All-Star selection won the 1942 American League Most Valuable Player Award.

Gordon was a member of five World Series champions – four in New York (1938, 1939, 1941, 1943) and one in Cleveland (1948). The Veterans Committee elected Joseph Lowell Gordon to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009.

Kurowski was known as a durable player who maintained his performance in the humid Midwest summers, before elbow troubles ended his career in 1949. Kurowski managed in the Cardinals and Indians organizations for 18 years before his final at-bat with the Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer League in 1959.

OF Tommy Henrich

Tommy Henrich was part of one of the greatest outfields of all time, along with Joe DiMaggio and Charlie Keller. He spent his entire big league career with the New York Yankees and played on seven World Series-winning clubs (although he actually played in the World Series only four times). Nicknamed "Old Reliable", he was known for his clutch hitting and steady defense.

Originally signed by the Cleveland Indians, Henrich never hit below .300 in the minors and showed power at the plate. After batting .346 for the New Orleans Pelicans of the Southern Association in 1936, he appeared in line to join the major league club. However, the Indians instead sold his contract to the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association, allegedly because the club regarded Jeff Heath as a better prospect. Rather than go to Milwaukee, he and his father wrote to Commissioner Kenesaw Landis, stating their belief that the Indians were denying him a chance to reach the majors. Landis ruled in his favor and declared Henrich a free agent. He ultimately signed with the Yankees for a $25,000 bonus.

SP Spud Chandler

Pitcher Spud Chandler played eleven years in the majors, all with the New York Yankees, and never had a losing season. He is the all-time leader in winning percentage (.717) among pitchers with 100 or more wins. He was a four-time All-Star and the 1943 American League Most Valuable Player.
