Besides Ron Santo and Jimmy Ryan I was really thinking about Evans. He career is terribly underrated and overlooked.

Also check out the stats for Ted Simmons, I'm not saying he belongs in the HOF by any means, but this guy was some hitter and very overlooked.

I hate to show my ignorance, but what did Carl Mays do that puts him in the same category as Hal Chase and the Black Sox? I know he threw the pitch that killed Ray Chapman, which is a horrible thing. But was it an intentional beanball?

I believe Mays beaning was a spitball that had gotten away from him.

I could be wrong, but I thought Mays was also accused of throwing games?

Default Bert deserves in
5 voters submitted blank ballots. Blyleven lost out by 5 votes. Karros got 2 votes. Put these all together and you have idiocy.

Jeff- you forgot Dock Ellis who for no other reason should be in for pitching a perfect game while under the influence of LSD. Let's see Clemens try that!

At least one report has it as a high fastball thrown to move Chapman off the plate. Chapman never saw it and never moved. Mays was no stranger to a hit batsman. Mays was cleared of criminal wrongdoing in Chapman's death after an interview at the DA's office.

Cheers,
Blair
