I got to agree with Cobb:
zzzcc.jpg The Fireside Book of Baseball, Einstein. 1956, Simon and Schuster, New York Also interesting his inclusion of Weaver and Jackson. As well as both catchers and first baseman after his main playing career. zzzcollins.jpg |

No way in Hell! Cobb and Lajoie were also great friends in addition to baseball colleagues. Third base, Buck Weaver, really??....No way I believe that article...And he bad mouths Hornsby? No way....

Lajoie.
Interesting, that it seems like Cobb's picks were really more based on defense, as that is the main thrust in his article. That's the dead-ball era, I suppose. |

OK, now that we have seen opinions on the starting line-ups, who would be your starters including pitcher? Let's say pre 1930....

Bill james ranks collins way ahead of lajoie. Good enough for me. 40 points higher on base percent and twice as many steals may be why.
