52. Tris Speaker

 

Obviously this thread has turned funny, but it is amazing that Speaker fell all the way to #52:

 

.345/.428/.500, 158 OPS+

 

1st in career doubles

5th in hits

5th in .BA

6th in triples

 

And was by all accounts the greatest fielding CF until Willie Mays with the most outfield assists of all time at 448.

Well the weird thing is that whoever it was that put Cy Young at 8 said it was Cy at 8, if pitchers were allowed, otherwise Tris Speaker. So he fell from potentially 8/9 to 52. I think its normal though because one a guy slips past a certain point you wouldn't even think to list them because you aren't thinking about such a good player at such a low spot.

[OleMissCub]

I think its normal though because one a guy slips past a certain point you wouldn't even think to list them because you aren't thinking about such a good player at such a low spot.

 

Very good point, because I realized in the early 30's that Christy Matthewson, a contender for greatest pitcher of all time, wasn't even on the board yet.
