Default Survey: Who is the most underrated deadball era pitcher?
Posted By: Paul

There were three Pirates pitchers in the very early 1900s with fantastic records -- Deacon Phillippe, Sam Leever, and Babe Adams. I believe all three were on the same staff as Vic Willis. As far as I'm concerned, they were all better than Willis and all belong in the Hall of Fame before Willis (but that's not saying much, since I don't think Willis belongs). Anyhow, they certainly are underrated, as few people have even heard of them today.
