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

Posted By: John/z28jd

Any 19th century pitcher who isnt in the hall of fame but deserves to be.Bobby Mathews,Bob Caruthers and Tony Mullane would be my top choices among non hall of famers for most underrated

But the most underrated pitcher ever in my mind has to be Albert Goodwill Spalding who went 253-65 career and has the best winning percent all-time by a wide margin.In fact the difference between him and Spud Chadler who is in 2nd place all-time in winning percent,is the same as the difference between Chandler and 45th place all-time on that list

Throw in the fact that he hit .312 career and Spalding as far as dominance was the Barry Bonds circa 2001-2004 of his time
