Bill James'
Historical Baseball Abstract's first edition had a page entitled Ed Who. Ed pitched about the best WS game until Carl Erskine and then Don Larson. Ed had 2 complete game wins in a double header as the Cubs were trying to win the pennant in 1908. During his career, his innings pitched each season was greater than the sum of hits allowed plus walks; something no HOF pitcher can claim. Ed supported player organizations, way ahead of his time; I think this got him shuffled to the Federal League and affected the number of starts he got the last few years he played. I think that if he'd stayed with the Cubs and stayed in their good graces that he'd have had 200+ wins and he'd be in the Hall. Ed is an overlooked ballplayer.
I think I may have another combination... gotta look for those cards.
