Assuming that 19th century players are excluded from this listing, my vote is a dead heat among Cobb, Young and McGraw as the most significant Hitter, Pitcher and Manager of the period, and possibly any period. And Id have to vote for the Big Train over Matty - he won more games with a far lesser team. Then Id pick Speaker, who is way underrated. You can only downgrade Jackson so far for having "only" just under 5000 ABs. So he is next in my book.

The others are certainly top tier players, but not in the same league as these Big Six. imho.
