Jackson

Jackson. The Slugging % was the determining factor, in my opinion. But it's pretty damn close.

21.2 WAR for Jackson one year, not bad.

Apparently, the ball kept disappearing on Houdini judging by his strikeout record.

Harry Houdini was a clone of Honus Wagner but at age 28 for some reason he wasn't as good as the real player. No votes for Cobb? I'm surprised.

Well, in my view, hits, doubles, and steals are the only places he outpaces Jackson, and as far as hits and doubles go, it's only because he played more.

It's Jackson for me. And I don't think it's that close. Cobb still had a ridiculous career!

Can't imagine Cobb--who is amazing--getting any votes against someone who's basically Ty Cobb + Babe Ruth.

Figured some people would vote for Cobb. More Hits, better playoff career, more SB higher average, more spots at #1 on the all time leaderboard. I voted for Jackson but I'm biased.
