Buck Freeman
Originally a pitcher, Buck Freeman was converted to right field and became one of the most feared sluggers in the game in the early part of the 20th century. He led the American League in home runs and RBI twice, and set a record for most consecutive errorless games. He also played in 536 straight games and played every inning in all but two of those games, from July of 1901 to the early part of the 1905 season.
