George Case
George Washington Case (November 11 1915 - January 23 1989) was an American left and right fielder in Major League Baseball who played most of his career for the Washington Senators. Possibly the sport's fastest player between the 1920s and 1950s, he is the only player to lead the major leagues in stolen bases five consecutive times (1939-1943), and his six overall league titles tied Ty Cobb's American League record; that mark was later broken by Luis Aparicio.
