About Clyde Milan
- Jesse Clyde Milan (March 25, 1887 – March 3, 1953) was an American baseball player who spent his entire career as an outfielder with the Washington Senators (1907–1922).
- He was not a powerful batter, but was adept at getting on base and was fleet of foot, receiving the nickname "Deerfoot" for his speed.
- He set a modern-rules record for stolen bases in a season with 88 in 1912, a mark surpassed three years later by Ty Cobb.
- Milan was mostly a center fielder. He was born in Linden, Tennessee and was listed as 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) tall and 168 pounds (76 kg).
- Like Cobb, Milan batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
- In 16 seasons with Washington, he batted .285 with 17 home runs and 617 runs batted in over 1982 games.
- He accumulated 495 stolen bases (tied for 37th all-time with Willie Keeler) and 1004 runs scored.
- Milan had 2100 hits in 7359 career at bats.
- He ended with a .353 all-time on-base percentage.
- Defensively, he recorded a .953 fielding percentage at all three outfield positions. As a player-manager (1922 only), with the Senators, he was 69–85, a .448 lifetime winning percentage, after which he managed minor league teams and spent 17 seasons (1928–29 and 1938 until his death) as a coach with Washington.
- His brother, Horace Milan, was briefly his teammate with the Senators. He died 22 days before his 66th birthday, in Orlando, Florida.
- During the Senators' 1953 spring training camp, where he was serving as a coach, he collapsed from the heat and suffered a fatal heart attack.
