Default Nap Lajoie or Eddie Collins 2nd base? Who would you take?

This discussion was brought up a couple of years ago. I guess it's safe to assume these were the two best second baseman in the T206 era. I honestly don't think it's close, give me the rajun cajun.....Thoughts?

Nap Lajoie.

The guy had a team named after him.

And I'm a diehard Cleveland fan. No bias here...

I got to agree with Cobb:

Also interesting his inclusion of Weaver and Jackson. As well as both catchers and first baseman after his main playing career.

No way in Hell! Cobb and Lajoie were also great friends in addition to baseball colleagues. Third base, Buck Weaver, really??....No way I believe that article...And he bad mouths Hornsby? No way....

Lajoie.

Interesting, that it seems like Cobb's picks were really more based on defense, as that is the main thrust in his article. That's the dead-ball era, I suppose.
