Default interesting view from Cap Anson-1918

From baseball reference.com=

In the January 10, 1918 issue of The Sporting News, Cap Anson picks his all-time team. Anson selects catchers Buck Ewing and King Kelly; pitchers Amos Rusie, John Clarkson, Jim McCormick; at 1B, himself; 2B Fred Pfeffer; 3B Ned Williamson; SS Ross Barnes; and outfielders Bill Lange, George Gore, Jimmy Ryan, and Hugh Duffy.

Notice that several of these players haven't made the HOF yet. I thought the OF choices were very interesting in particular.

I also thought I'd send along the link to Jimmy Ryan whose career was very good and he had a couple brushes with disaster, making this a cool read.
