Notes:
Frank Thomas and Johnny Mize are virtually interchangeable to me. I went back and forth on which one should be higher. It came down to their peaks, with Mize having a slightly better JAWS and a better WAR7 (where Mize is actually 4th among first baseman).
I counted Stan Musial as a first baseman because he has more games there than any other position, unless you count all three outfield positions as one position. Meh.
Before I made the list (which I do completely unbiased to the best of my ability), I wondered if McGwire would make it. He barely squeezed in.
Eddie Murray is very overrated.
