So we should applaud you for knowing how to use google? And yes, I was aware Ruth was a world class pitcher in his early years. If I'm not mistaken he still holds a world series pitching record.
Dude you guys totally left out "Big" Ed Delahanty, Honus Wagner, Zack Wheat, Nap Lajoie, George freakin Sisler.... I mean come on! (Jimmy Vullmer voice) (also this is not a serious post)
Actually this reminds of me that Simpsons episode where Mr. Burns makes a team of baseball all-stars and his original requests are all dead ball era players. According to wikipedia they were: Honus Wagner, Cap Anson, Mordecai Brown, Gabby Street, Pie Traynor, Harry Hooper, Nap Lajoie, Joe Jackson, and Jim Creighton (who Smithers points out died 130 years ago) LOL anyway sorry for derailing this thread, carry on.
Waddell was a mean thrower even for it being the deadball era. I was the first to mention Joe Jackson and Nap Lajoie, there were so many great players back in those days. Not diminishing today's players in the least.
what? I used to save memorable stats way before google. I considered that one of the best. I had to update my answer because of Guidry. Do you get it now; hence my disgust with this top 15. that is, You must update your answers. You kids think everyone google's their memory nowadays. so sad. You want another trivia question. Which president was the first to see a triple play live in the stadium. google that.
