Pre 1960's players make it a BS list. I have nothing against those players but their inclusion is based on stats, reputation, and guesswork in semi-pro ball with vastly different rules.
So we can throw out all sports stats for all sports prior to the 90's I guess and say they were all bush league because it was a different Era. With different styles, different rules, different mentality.
All the Stars from Soccer, Basketball, Football, Baseball, Hockey and any other sport should not be included in any lists or history's because they were not the guys working 24 7 using enhanced diets, medicine, and training facilities for both medical and physical optimization.
We could also say the same for any History of Countries or achievements that are not done with computers and materials made of composites that are more efficient today. Yep Bull Doze those Egyptian Pyramids, they were made in a time without Computers and with Slave Labor in fact and should not exist.
What I am getting to is those 60's,70's and 50's era players played without all the enhancements of today and put up good numbers for seasons or 8 and 10 and 12 games a season. They built the foundation for what your watching today which many feel is a diminished game due to a pussification mentality of many players today in all sports compared to those of that era that played with more pain they many will ever know and it wasn't for the money as much as the love of the game and their team mates.
