Default Clyde Milan

Milan was a good enough guy that Walter Johnson roomed with him for 10 years.

He was a good enough ballplayer that he finished one position behind Johnson in voting for the 1912 Chalmers award (this was Johnson's 33-12 season). That was the year that Milan stole 88 bases.

Came up the same month in 1907 as Johnson, played with Washington through the '22 season. He managed or coached for them until he died in 1953.

Just a solid ballplayer, who retired just as Washington was getting good.
