Basically, I started this thread because I'm interested to see who your guys' favorite players are from the past. Just for the threads sake, lets cut the time off in the early 80's. So any players that are still playing today don't count in this thread. I want to know who you guys like to pay attention to in your historical replays and who you root for.

Mine would be:

Walter Johnson
Honus Wagner
Ed Delahanty
Nap Lajoie
John McGraw
Joe Jackson

And sometimes a few others, depending upon how far I get into my leagues. I almost always make sure I pay special attention to those guys though. Walter Johnson is my most favorite player of all time, so I gotta keep a close eye on him. The rest have become personal favorites of mine by playing multiple solo historical leagues, reading about them, and just liking the teams they played for. It was also awesome to be able to see their plaques at Cooperstown.
