The best of the Veteran's Committee

[rats60]

SS- Arky Vaughan - 2nd best SS of all time OPS+ 136
P- Eddie Plank- only modern era 300 game winner not elected by BBWA. Herb Pennock is worthy of their vote, but not Plank?
1B- Johnny Mize - top 20 OPS, OPS+ not worthy of BBWA vote? Hank Greenburg gets in, but Mize doesn't when he loses 3 prime years to the war too?
These are the only 3 no brainer HOFers missed by the BBWA in my opinion. The rest of my team
C- Lombardi- Best player on 1940 WCs 1 MVP, 2 time batting champ. OPS+ 126=Johnny Bench
2B- Bill Mazeroski- "Bill Mazeroski's defensive statistics are probably the most impressive of any player at any position"- Bill James. If I'm putting an unworthy player in, at least he's the best defensively.
3B- Baker- star of Baseball's First Dynasty along with Eddie Collins 4 time HR champ, 2 time RBI champ, clutch WS performer. OPS+ 135=George Brett
OF- Edd Roush- Best player on 1919 WCs, 2 time batting champ, great defensive CF, known as the Reds best player at the time and invited to throw our 1st pitch at Crosley Field's last game.
OF- Goslin- key player on 1924 WS champs getting Walter Johnson his only WC. Led league in Batting once, RBIs once.
OF- Crawford- All time leader in triples, led league in RBIs 3 times, HRs twice. OPS+ 144
