I would take Ty Cobb or Honus Wagner. Cobb plays a brand of baseball that I thoroughly enjoy. I think I would even like to be the owner so that Cobb could tell me how he really feels about me as owner or GM.

Wagner played every day at shortstop, and he could hit some, too. I'd go with him.

If we are talking about drafting a 9 man team, I am taking Honus Wagner. The gap from him to the #2 shortstop is bigger than from Ruth to the #2-8 corner outfielder. Bill James has Wagner as the #2 player of all time.
I would take Mays over Cobb, so I wouldn't pick him. Likewise, there is too much depth at pitcher to take Johnson (or Matty). |

That is the original artwork from the Detroit News September 1985. Purchased from the artist.

This wasn't supposed to have to do with value of cards so, I like the Big Train a lot. Let this sink in a second (he also had over 400 wins)
"Johnson's record includes 110 shutouts, the most in baseball history. Johnson had a 38–26 record in games decided by a 1–0 score." - Wiki He lost 26 games when his team couldn't score 1 run. Depending on how you look at it, he might dominate his position better than any other player at their respective position, statistically. And here is the original postcard proof, photo that Wiki used for him .... I should get a royalty ![]() ![]()
