You show great discernment in your list---but I'm not so sure about a couple 20th century names. First, without the Knight of Kennet Square, do the Yankees win all those pennants and series games? He won some classic games for them. Besides, the Writers put him in---he is off limits. In addition, it seems to me that the Giants of 1921-24 must have had a few Hall of Fame calibre players on them---how else would they set the record for consecutive National League pennants? so if you boot out Beauty Bancroft and George Kelly--those teams would have only 2 hall of famers: Youngs and a young Frisch. That doesn't seem right. Maybe they should put in a few more, like Heine Groh, Irish Meusel, and Artie Nehf.
