4. Chuck Klein, 1928-33, 36-39, 40-44 Phillies

Chuck Klein had a 17-year MLB career, including three stints with the Phillies, which combined for 15 years.

His greatest years were the early ones, including his NL-leading 43-homer season in 1929, and his subsequent NL-best 31, 38 and 28-homer seasons between 1931-33.

In 1932, after being the runner-up for the MVP award the year before, Klein won MVP by hitting .348/.404/.646 with a 1.050 OPS, 152 runs scored, 226 hits, 50 doubles, 15 triples, 38 home runs, 137 RBI, and 20 stolen bases. He led the NL in games played, home runs, stolen bases, slugging, OPS, and total bases, and led MLB in runs scored and hits.
