mas...@gmail.com
made it onto the top three teams at the VHOF -- Henderson was the only
one to get any votes and finished well short of even the number nine
spot in the outfield.

Shlabotnik was Roger Moore's family name, at least until they got to Ellis
Island.

1. Brooks Robinson. The best 3rd baseman in the AL for an extended
period of time.
2. Dick Allen (In tribute to the White Sox)
3. Buck Weaver(In tribute to the White Sox, and in memory of the only
honest Black Sox)
4. Branch Rickey
5. Moe Berg. A true American Hero who made contributions as a spy in
WWII reflected well on the entire game.
Finally, with respect to Shoeless Joe Jackson. With the White Sox in
the World Series it is time to end the discussion about Jackson and put
him out of mind. The comment by the Fox Broadcaster that it was the
Astros of Nolan Ryan against the White Sox of Shoeless Joe Jackson was
horrible. Jackson is a blot on the escutcheon of the franchise.

Do you really intend to leave Vance off the list of pitchers?
Good summary, otherwise--well, more weight given relievers than
I'd afford, but that's at most a minor blemish.

Keeler's a RF. I'm surprised Browning played more center than left.
