Player #37B: Robert S. "Bob" Ganley. Outfielder for the Washington Senators in 1907-1909. 540 hits and 112 stolen bases in 5 MLB seasons. He debuted with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1905. His best season was 1907 for the Washington Senators as he posted a .337 OBP with 40 stolen bases and 73 runs scored.
Bob Ganley played a little over 2 seasons in Washington's outfield. During that time, he maintained an OPS+ of 110, or about 10 percent above league average during those deadball years. He scored 139 runs and stole 74 bases. In 1909, however, he started poorly, was traded to Philadelphia where his hitting got even worse, and never played in MLB again. Despite a reputation for defense: "Bob Ganley covers so much territory for the Athletics that he leaves little for the other outfielders to do." - Sporting Life of August 21, 1909
