DavidWhile I am as interested as anyone with statistics, I beleive that often forgotten are intagables, such as leadership, effort, getting the most out of your teammates. Perhaps some of those old voters were aware of contemperary players' valuable qualities that we can't see in a stat sheet.
I've long felt that a players' value to a winning team is more that his home runs or batting average. I don't care what Albert Belle's stats were-- If I was trying to produce a winning team I would rather have Omar Visquel.
