After Bad Henry at #1, it’s a tough call. Regardless of who you pick, at least three Hall of Famers are going to be left off.
Here’s my list:
#2 Greg Maddux. If you’re the best pitcher of your generation you qualify.
#3 Warren Spahn. Had a few more wins and a slightly better ERA than Mad Dog but didn’t have to face juiced-up freaks.
#4 Eddie Mathews.He was much better defensively than Chipper and, in his prime, the better hitter, slugging 37 or more homers six times.
