PASJDSix years in which he played over 100 games. It's just not enough to merit consideration, and I don't count the PCL. The PCL was a minor league, whereas the Negro Leagues pre-Jackie Robinson were for all intents and purposes MAJOR league baseball or at least the equivalent. I guess there is the Sandy Koufax counterargument, but as fine a hitter as O'Doul might have been during his brief tenure noone is claiming he is the greatest hitter of all time or even close whereas the claim of greatest pitcher is made often for Koufax so I would say he may be the one exception to the rule that you need a legitimate 10 year career.
