Tejada had some really big years too including that absurd 150 RBI season.

Might as well throw Vizquel in there to. 11 Gold Gloves, almost 3000 hits.

At Catcher we had Johnny Bench, Carlton Fisk, Gary Carter, Thurman Munson, Gene Tenace and Ted Simmons overlap. All Top 15 All-Time in both WAR and JAWS.

with Honorable mentions going to: Lance Parrish, Gene Tenace, Jim Sundberg, Darrell Porter. All top 25......then throw in Bob Boone for his 7 Gold Gloves.

Cheating a little, but 1951 CF DiMaggio, Mays, Mantle, Snider.

Fisk, Carter, Irod and Piazza all overlap in the early 90s. There's another 4 in the top 10.

[G1911]

Can't get to 4 at the top tier level, but Lajoie, Collins and Hornsby were all active in 1915 and 1916, who may well be the 1st, 2nd and 3rd best 2B of all time.

At 3rd base in the 80s you have Wade Boggs, Mike Schmidt, George Brett, and Paul Molitor.
