Default Survey: Who is the most underrated deadball era pitcher?
Posted By: Albie O'Hanian

I knew very little about Phillippe until I read the book when "Boston won the World Series". Now that I have read the book I would choose Phillippe. I thought this quote from the book was interesting, "Phillippi will, if he wins, be the most famous player in the history of baseball. He will be famous even if he loses out now, for he alone has been the man." Even in that era starting 5 games in a series and winning three is beyond remarkable.
