I like Addie Joss. Would have been a 300 game winner.

With Hamilton. No foul ball strikes and a completely different SB recordings make Hamilton not draftable to me. Though he does belong in the Hall

Fair enough but you can also look at it like he played by the rules of the time and was so much better than everyone else at what he did. His stats do count, there's no asterisk...

Yea he dominated his era sure, which is why he should be in the Hall. It's just not an era that I value very highly.

So, no love for players like Cy Young, Honus Wagner, Ed Delahanty, Rube Waddell, Cap Anson, Kid Nichols, that's just crazy to me...

I don't mean 1900-1920. I mean pre turn of the century.

League Average OBP was like 60 points higher than once they adopted the foul ball strikes rule.

When Hamilton's ONP was .520 there were 3 or 4 guys over .500.

It's was a really different game.

All the guys I listed played pre 1900.
