Pre War -- Top 3

Ruth, Matty & Cobb

[LincolnVT]

I guess I was asking because I have really only delved into Cobb and Ruth. I am kinda torn about who else to pursue.

[Throttlesteer]

Cy Young, Harry Heilmann, Eddie Collins.

I would think Jackson would be the next logical choice for you. Or Wagner.

Ethan, it’s not Wagner. So no need to extend your collecting efforts there

Just look at the first 5 inducted - Cobb, Ruth, Wagner, Wajo, Matty. It’s those guys plus Joe Jackson and Cy Young. Ruth and Cobb are 1&2. Which of the others is 3rd...? All of them in my opinion.

But for your collection, I think you need a pitcher.

Cobb, Johnson and Ruth for me.

Ryan - you have to add one more “biggie” along with Jackson & Young (beside the original 5 HOF Charter Members). Henry Louis Gehrig!

Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson and Lou Gehrig. Edd Roush is on gehrig’s heels because I grew up near his hometown and knew some of his family members. But Gehrig edges Roush because I love a line drive slugger.

Ruth, Cobb and Young...just because...
