Very off the top of my head ranking, but I’d go with.
1. Cap Anson
2. King Kelly
3. Ed Delahanty
4. Tim Keefe
5. Pud Galvin
I’m cutting of Cy Young because his career straddled the decades, though the first half his career is probably still good enough to make the list on merit. And as much as I’d love to see it, I just couldn’t find room for Old Hoss Radbourn
