Babe Ruth - Boston Red Sox, 1915
In his first full season in the majors, the Babe hit .315 with four home runs in only 92 at-bats. His interest would shift from pitching to hitting, but the Red Sox wouldn't relent on his desire to play every day. When he joined the Yankees for the 1920 season, that wasn't an issue anymore.
