OT -- why does Spahn get no love?
363 wins even though he only started at age 25 because of WW II. 13 20 win seasons. His baseball-reference statistics are:
Black Ink Pitching - 101 (4), Average HOFer ≈ 40 Gray Ink Pitching - 374 (3), Average HOFer ≈ 185 Hall of Fame Monitor Pitching - 260 (9), Likely HOFer ≈ 100 Hall of Fame Standards Pitching - 66 (10), Average HOFer ≈ 50 One could make the argument that he's among the 5 best pitchers of all time, and I don't think anyone would seriously dispute top 10. But his cards -- nobody really cares, do they? Small market? Limited post-season? Something else?
