I do not understand why Speaker is so often forgotten and frankly disrespected when it comes to lists like this....Know your history.
Top 3 if not the greatest center fielder of all time, All Time Doubles leader with record that may never be touched, #5 all time average, 3 World Series. First and only player-manager to win world series. Could go on and on...and he's dropped from the list? C'Mon man!
