Tough list - definitely need to include a couple/few 19thC players. From a popularity stand point, Anson and Kelly would be in that grouping.

Lajoie was great. But I think he gets a bit more love than others at least as deserving. Lajoie over Speaker?

He had a better nickname though -- the Gray Eagle blows away Nap. I think Bill James has Speaker in his top 10 and Lajoie is maybe in the 40s.

Not in any real order (sort of chronological):
A.19th century (or mostly) 1. H Wright (player-mgr-creator) Spaulding (player-creator) D. White Anson Galvin Ward Radbourn Clarkson McPhee Browning 10. Caruthers (great 2 way player) Ewing Kelly Ward Keefe Delahanty Rusie Connor Nichols Hamilton 20. C. Young -- 1900-20 Dahlen Crawford Waddell F. Clarke (player also mgr etc.) 25. JJ McGraw (mgr also player) Wagner Lajoie Matty .M. Brown 30 - Cobb W.Johnson J. Jackson E Collins Speaker Evers-Tinker-Chance (one card?) Alexander Ruth Heilman . Hornsby 40. Gehrig Foxx Ott Cochrane Grove -- C.Mack (Mgr-- ) J. McCarthy (mgr) C. Griffith (baseball lifer-- Player-manager-owner-etc,) C. Comiskey (Same) Bill Klem (Ump) -- Negro-League/Cuban O. Charleston Pop Lloyd Rube Foster M. Dihigo Smokey Joe Williams -- I think this about 54 and .... Miller Huggins maybe should be included instead he was a baseball lifer who died young (maybe because he had to manage Babe Ruth). Last edited by Misunderestimated; 01-12-2019 at 06:24 PM. |
