have you actually seen Josh Gibson's numbers? hard to tell what he would have done against a mix of the best pitching. I used to think he was great til I saw his numbers, just against black pitchers.

Yogi, Bench, Fisk, Ivan in terms of value to their teams in their eras

Shantz
119-99, 3.38 ERA, 1.260 WHIP, 119 ERA+, 3X all star, 8X gold glove 1X AL MVP

Shantz had the MVP season as a SP, but really only had 2 good seasons where he was MAINLY a SP(6 seasons)

it is very hard to differentiate these pitchers who were SP for a while in their career, but the thing is that Many stats value SP over a RP by a very high margin... thats why when it comes to RP, there are other statistics i look at...

But with that said, they are close... But i would take Orosco over Shantz in a RP match..

I thought Orasco was good for a long time, but never great

I can't believe Babe Harman wasn't taken sooner. I swear he was taken because I had him on my list but erased it because I thought he was taken. Great pick by 500.

Thanks buddy

Umm.....you're only about 700 off lol. Hall of Fame plaque credits hin with ''almost 800 Home Runs''. The ***** leagues, where your stat came from, played 20 or so game seasons. He hit 115 in 510 games there. He also played in the Cuban League, Puerto Rico League, and Mexican League. Late in his career, he got 56 AB's against white MLB pitching and hit .351.
He is the only man to ever hit the ball out of Yankee Stadium. He was the 1st man to clear the 457' CF fence at Forbes Field. He is credited by the Sporting News as having hit a 580' HR at Yankee Stadium and a 575' HR at Monessen Penn.
Oh....and he was regarded as the greatest defensive catcher of all time lol.
''He had an eye like Ted Williams and power like Babe Ruth''

I look at it like this....if the NBA were all white, would the legends about a ***** Association/Harlem Globetrotter named Michael Jordan being the greatest ever be blown out of proportion....or actually not tell of his true greatness

I think the picks might be good, thought I'd seen a couple already gone, but can't spot them
