Ossie Bluege Autographs
Oswald Louis Bluege (/ˈbluːɡiː/; October 24, 1900 – October 14, 1985) was an American third baseman, manager, coach and front-office executive in Major League Baseball who spent his entire playing career with the Washington Senators franchise from 1922 to 1939. He would remain on the team's payroll in key on- and off-field capacities until 1971, long after it became the Minnesota Twins. Bluege was the last surviving member of the Senators' 1924 World Series championship team, the franchise's only world champion before it relocated to Minnesota in 1961. He threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 162 pounds (73 kg).
Bluege was born in Chicago and raised in the city's Goose Island area. A younger brother, Otto, an infielder, played in 109 games for the 1932–1933 Cincinnati Reds and had a 13-year playing career in professional baseball. Ossie Bluege, a graduate of the Luther Institute of Business Administration in 1915, found a job as an accountant at International Harvester. He honed his baseball skills as a member of local sandlot teams.
Bluege was discovered by baseball promoter Joe Engel, who operated the Chattanooga Lookouts of the Southern Association and scouted for Washington owner Clark Griffith. He made his Major League debut on April 24, 1922, and played his final game on July 13, 1939, spending his 18-year, 1,867-game playing career with the Senators. In addition to the 1924 world champions, Bluege also was the team's starting third baseman for its pennant-winning 1925 and 1933 editions. Bluege was chiefly known for his defensive ability, leading American League third basemen in double plays in three different seasons. His moonlighting, off-season job earned him the nickname "The Accountant" from teammates. Bluege's only All-Star appearance, in 1935, came in a year which saw him primarily play shortstop for Washington.
