The next post-war guy on the list is Slaughter at #54.
Surprised not to see Mantle in there somewhere.
Lofton is up to 116 but getting old; Damon is at 91 so may crack the top 100. Finley is stuck at 124.
Any of you scholars know why the new-timers are hitting less triples? Cookie-cutter ballyards? Livelier ball? Less scrappy ballplaying?
