I believe the reason for the modern players favoritism is so that they can show highlight footage of that player's career during the broadcast, how would they do that for Ed Delahanty or Cap Anson?

Barry Larkin well ahead of Al Simmons? Come on now, did they take a look at some of Simmons batting averages?

Always thought Larkin was comically overrated, and was shocked to see him in the top 100 at all, let alone ahead of guys like Simmons, Gehringer, Anson, and Biggio.
