Great list... Great.
BUT I feel like ere has to be a dead ball era pitcher in there somewhere...
Walter, Cy, Addie, Matty... Hard to pick one guy, they all have merit...but they pitched with very little relief, on shorter rest, etc etc...
Also, hard to comprehend that not one player of the last 50 years was top ten good. Though I couldn't pick one name so maybe that's right...
Edit:
On second though... Ken Griffey Jr. The guy had a monster career, that should have been even better. Even with multiple lost seasons to injury, he was arguably the best fielder in the game for nearly a decade, and he was clearly one of the greatest power hitters in history. To think what he could've been if healthy is almost unthinkable
