Default Best Baseball Player Depicted in T206 Not in the Hall of Fame
Posted By: Kenny Cole

He may have been the most talented of the non-HOFers in the T206 set, but he was also the biggest crook. I find it difficult to square the concept of the "best" with a player who routinely threw games. Baseball, like all sports, is all about winning. If you don't help your team win, and Chase pretty clearly did not (at least not when it counted), then I'm not sure how anyone can realistically call him the best.

For my money, its Dahlen, Magee, Cravath and Doyle, in that order for position players. Philippe, Reulbach, Mullin and Tannehill for pitchers
