Player Profile:
Charlie Jamieson

Player notes: Having begun his career with the Washington nations in 1915, Jamieson became a star player for the Indians in the 1920s. Although he never hit for power (only 18 career home runs), he thrived in the live ball era of the Twenties, hitting over .300 in eight full seasons, and amassing 1,990 career hits. He was a fixture in left field and the leadoff spot for the Tribe for over a decade, but was overshadowed on his own team for most of that period by the great Tris Speaker. In addition to his offensive production, Jamieson was a fine defensive outfielder, known for his diving catches and strong throwing arm. He never won any major awards, though he often received votes in the MVP balloting, and led the league in hits in 1923. Almost forgotten now, Charlie Jamieson was one of the truly fine players of the 1920s.
