Thanks. I’m gonna go with Lajoie Foxx and Hornsby.

I cant collect Joe. It’s a personal choice.

Wow. Some nice backs. For what it’s worth I looked him up and he was actually a good soccer player too. Really cool!

I read a bio of Chief Bender. Interesting life for sure. I became interested in collecting his cards.

I do not understand why Speaker is so often forgotten and frankly disrespected when it comes to lists like this....Know your history.
Top 3 if not the greatest center fielder of all time, All Time Doubles leader with record that may never be touched, #5 all time average, 3 World Series. First and only player-manager to win world series. Could go on and on...and he's dropped from the list? C'Mon man!
