Default Pitcher trivia
By Baseball Reference standards, name the three pitchers eligible for the Hall but not enshrined with the highest career WAR.

Without looking it up (obviously) I’ll go with Clemens, Schilling…. And maybe Tiant?

I should clarify. I did not mean to include steroid exclusions. Schilling is right, Tiant is not.

Just one more to go. But for fun let's expand it to top 5. Tiant is not in the top 5, he's 6th.

McCormick is in the 70’s, off memory I think Tiant is the mid 60’s. I can’t think of anyone definitely over him. Are Bobby Mathews and Tommy John in the top 5? They seem like the type to be around there bulking lots of good seasons

Neither of those. One is an old timer, two more modern.

Some lump him in with the 'roids users, but I think Kevin Brown has a pretty high WAR.

Yes it is. One more, a 19th century pitcher.

Interesting to look at overall WAR vs pitching WAR - Mullane was a better hitter but Mathews (62.3) is higher than Mullane (61.0) going by the latter.
