A couple of names that I would put ahead of most of those on your 10-15 list:
Ed Walsh Mordecai Brown Frank Baker (vastly underrated; best third baseman before Eddie Matthews. I tend to think about the American league star cohort that came up between 1905-1910 as similar to the young National League cohort of 1951-1956, i.e. Cobb, Speaker, Collins vs. Mays, Aaron, Robinson. Baker is like the Ernie Banks of the group - through 1960, he was every bit as good as Mays or Aaron, just like Baker was through 1914)

Intriguing thread! I'd make sure Hal Chase has a spot though. Trent King

I love this topic. I agree with your top 10, and I think Crawford belongs there as a lock. From 11-40 I'm really not sure what the order should be.
Some contenders for #11 in my opinion: Davis Keeler Walsh Brown Joss Baker Dahlen McGinnity Wheat Waddell And then how to rank Chance, Clarke, Griffith and McGraw who were great players and iconic managers/executives?

Based on career WAR:
1 Johnson 2 Young (not Irv) 3 Cobb 4 Speaker 5 Wagner (not Heinie) 6 Collins (not Jimmy) 7 Lajoie 8 Mathewson 9 Plank 10 Davis (not Harry) 11 Wallace 12 Crawford 13 Dahlen 14 Walsh 15 Griffith Time to start hoarding T206 Davis Chicago !?!?!? To be fair, there is a big drop-off in WAR between Matty and Plank. So there is really a top eight and then everyone else. Last edited by sreader3; 10-02-2022 at 04:54 PM. |
