WAR isn't very contingent on batting average. Did you look it up?
I disagree completely. His WAR is way too low. He put up an .829 OPS in the freaking '60s. I mean in 1964 he put up a .417 wOBA, fourth best in all of baseball, and only finished with a 6.2 WAR. The league average wOBA in '64 was .307. Allison was 110 points higher! I'm not saying Allison is a 10 win player, but, by WAR, Anthony Rendon's 2014 season in which he hit .287/.351/.473 is better, and I disagree with thatA higher batting average would have raised the War even more. Plus he did not hit many doubles
which affects slugging. Still, I think his war was great considering his 12 year career. He hardly played at all in his 1st year.
Dave Stewart?
- Plagued by injuries during his career, he left the major leagues at age 30 before returning six years later for one and a half seasons
- Was a World Series MVP, and pitched a two-hitter in the fourth and final game in the sweep of the series
- Was involved in the deal that sent Rickey Henderson to the Yankees
- He pitched a one-hitter against the Rockies in 1993
- NL strikeout leader in 1993; All-Star in 1994
- Finished with a 38.8 WAR in 1880 IP
Granny HamnerI'm bored. Who can get this old-timer?
- Won three consecutive Gold Gloves from 1960-1962
- Five-time All-Star
- He led the American League four times in assists and putouts, three times in baserunners caught stealing and twice in caught stealing percentage, with a career fielding percentage of .990
- Had his best season in 1961 when he hit .302/.377/.470 in 522 PA
No, but he wasn't caucasianDave Stewart?
No, but that's a very good guess. This guy is very esotericGranny Hamner
In that order?He's right in your era. Really underrated pitcher IMO. Pitched for the Yankees, A's, and Reds
