Cameron was a very underrated player. Career 106 OPS+ from a CF is actually pretty darn good. Not to mention he was a very good fielder and base runner. But he (and many ballplayers, of course) pale in comparison to Mays.

I don't know what BRWAR is nor do I care, but I will vote based on my own logic

As I stated in the Catchers one, this weeks matchups are almost all jokes, but the later ones should get some talk going. The only one I see even getting a little close is the Bonds vs Brock one because of PEDs and people reaction to them.

Baseball Reference WAR. Different sites use different equations, so I try to state which site I am using.

A stat that attempts to quantify a player's overall value.
