Two of the dominant players during their era were Pete Browning and,one of my favorites, Dave Orr. The arguement against them is that they played in the "inferior" American Association. First, the "inferior" part is hogwash; American Association teams held their own very well in interleague play. Second, in 1890 when Orr and Browning competed with the big boys as part of the Player's League they were two of the league's top hitters.
