Why do u have so many turn of the Cnetury guys on here i deleted Honus Wahner but Roberto Clemente & Willie Stargell r 1 & 2 Honus might be 3 but I would guess he is closer to 5 or 6.
Nap for the indians not even close. Bob Feller is #1 by far. even Lou Boudreau is above Nap. Most of the 90's Indians r in ftont of Nap.
If u count the Senators with the Twins u cant go wrong with The Brig Train but Kirby runs away with this 1 for just the Twins
Hanley Ramirez for Marlins ok I might concede that 1 but I know 5 yrs ago Jeff Conine was #1
NYM Seaver top 3 but I would have gone with Doc or Daryl Starwberry.
Cap Anson wouldnt even be top 10 for the Cubs, Ernie Banks is an overwhelming #1 Santo and Ryno r 2 & 3. Even Tinkers to Evers to chance ranks above Cap Anson.
Randy Johnson played what 3 yrs for Dbacks. I would have guessed that Luis Gonzalez or Mark Grace or Curt Schilling would be theri #1 but no one has played enough yrs for them.
While I like Jackie for the Dodgers myself. Koufax or Duke Snider Pee Wee Reese and even Pizza should be above him.
Willie Mays for NY Giants by far not for SF that belongs to Willie McCovey.

See, that's where you and I are different (which last I checked is OK by the way
) CF76. I look at the entire history of the franchise when making my selections. You use some other method. That's cool.
It's my belief that Tom Terrific would win, in a landslide for the Mets, over those two should've-been-superstars who utterly fell apart before their careers really got going. Randy Johnson played 8 years with the D-Backs, and won 4 straight Cy Young Awards in his first four seasons there.
With all due respect to the other great Dodgers, Robinson was a cut above all of them in talent, and in what he represents in American history. Most players have their best season on average at the age of 27. Robinson didn't enter MLB until the age of 28. Think about what his career in Dodger blue would look like if he'd been able to break the colour barrier in let's say 1941. I'm not gonna hold against him the fact that people in his time couldn't look past the colour of a person's skin and I don't think anybody else should.
