Does not appear Bill James included what may have been for Fellers Military years missed.

Since 1988, I acknowledge pitchers such as Maddux, Randy Johnson and Pedro would have an impact on rankings.

I am thinking of the 2003 volume. He included Paige in that one. I think he had Gibson ahead of Feller, and I forget who else. Probably by that time Clemens.
