Ken Berry
Ken Berry's ability to rob opposing batters of hits with his glovework in center field earned him the nickname "The Bandit." Berry won a pair of Gold Gloves and was also an excellent bunter, but the long grass in Comiskey Park's infield probably cost him a dozen hits a season. After his big league career, which lasted 14 seasons, primarily with the White Sox, Berry enjoyed a successful career as a minor league manager in the organizations of the Padres, White Sox, and Yankees.
