After going over the list I can't believe George Brett is ahead of Wade Boggs and Eddie Mathews. On best ever 3rd baseman lists he is always below them and correctly so.

Boggs had not much power once batting practice ended and that hurt his legacy, along with his appearance of self-obsession. Mathews just never got his due, I don't know why.

In another thread, someone was naming their greatest pitchers and they went with the soccer-type, first name only, reference of "Pedro", and the first name I thought of was "Pedro Borbon". After about 30 seconds, I realized he was talking about Martinez. Martinez was good, and so were Roy Oswalt and Orel Hershiser.

Mariano on the list at all is terrible let alone the high ranking he got. Oooooooh, he was great for 65 innings a year. Whoopee.

I definitely don't agree with Maddux ahead of Clemens. Clemens has a case for greatest pitcher ever. Maddux does not.
