Interesting list - - only 27 make it - - and shows that Tim Raines is so underrated..............

[Craig S.]

I would never have thought McGriff would make that list.

All HoFers except the active guys (Bonds, McGriff, and Palmeiro).

Raines is inactive and not in the HOF.

Another thing this list shows - Frank Robinson, while he gets respect, probably deserves more.

If you'd have said Williams was on this list, I sure would have figured you didn't mean Billy. (edit to say oops - didnt realize the Splinter fell a couple hundred PAs short of the cutoff). Makes me think 10000 is too high a cutoff. Even with military, he had a long enough career to make any longevity list, IMO.

And Babe has more than double everyone except the top 4 (3 excluding himself). Wowza. Again.

Just one of those guys, Frank Robinson. I've felt that way going way back, this guy is often overlooked. I put him only a couple of degrees under the big three that played in his time, Mantle, Mays and Aaron.
