but I would have Bonds number 2. So he would certainly be ahead of Gehrig who would not be number 1.

Bonds is not a top 100 player. He isn't on my list. If Mathewson isn't top 20, there is no need to bother with their list. He was the #1 pitcher in 1936 hof vote. He's at least top 3 now.

Exactly how I feel!!!

And Along wit Mr. Plank NoT BeiN iN the ToP 100!?
I just don't get that at All! How can Mr. Mathewson & Mr. Plank Dominate the
1st 15 years of the 20th Century, Only to be pushed back Out of the ToP 20 & 100 respectfully?

Whata bout Joe Jackson... He was Said to be the Best Hitter that Mr. Ruth & Mr. Cobb have "EVER" SeeN!!! I realize that beiN Banned holds a lot of weight wit some folks... However, when the # 1 & #6 Choice's Voice their Opinion, Mr. Jackson Should at least be iN the Top 50... RiGHT???

The Lack of PreWar ShowiN oN this LiST BaFFles Completely me

I looked through that list quickly when it came out and it was such a joke I didn't even bother trying to pick it apart. There are so many problems on it you would be here forever trying to sort them out. I left a comment somewhere it was posted that said something like "If you're not going to try, why even bother".

I think the reason they put together poor lists is it gets more attention. If people agreed with the lists, there is nothing to talk about
