I man there are a lot of Hall of Famers who played on some pretty crappy teams including the guys I mention. Much of the time those players had no choice where they played.

Anyway, Hodges came up in 1943, played 1 game and entered the Marine Corps. I still feel that Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky would have gotten more consideration along with other similar players.

You don't understand WAR then. Playing for a crummy team has no impact.

Oh, and Rats, look two posts above you.

I said I didn't understand WAR. Playing for crappy teams with no run support
and batting order has something to say about certain stats.
