Let’s rank top 10-15 T206 Players

[MVSNYC]

I think many of these players are interchangeable...but most of us have the same guys...

1. Cobb
2. Young
3. Wagner
4. Johnson
5. Mathewson
6. Speaker
7. Collins
8. Lajoie
9. Plank
10. Waddell

11. Crawford
12. M. Brown
13. Chesbro
14. Keeler
15. Wheat

[sreader3]

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.

Bill James ranked Wagner #2 behind only Ruth. He ranked Cobb #5.
