Very interesting that the player with the highest % of HOF votes for quite some time (held that mark for 24 years) is not mentioned on anyone's ballot.
Tom Seaver.
There are several other RHPs listed multiple times above (Ryan, Maddux, Gibson, Johnson, etc) that fell below Tom Terrific in HOF voting. I would have thought he would have shown up on at least some lists.
Here's mine:
LHP - Unit (barely over Carlton)
RHP - Ryan (barely over Seaver)
C - Bench - (the non-pereil)
1B - Gehrig (with Pujols right behind)
2B - Morgan (with Hornsby right behind)
SS - Wagner (with Rip right behind)
3B - Brett (picture under 'ball player' in the dictionary)
LF - Bonds (7x MVP)
CF - Mays (best all around player, ever)
RF - Ruth (what can I say, changed the game)
Closer - Mo (Mr. 100%)
DH/PH - Teddy Ballgame (best hitter ever)
Manager - Sparky
