Committee Chairman

Committee Chairman

Kirk Buchner, "The Committee Chairman", is the owner and operator of the site.  Kirk can be contacted at [email protected] .

268. Herman Long

Herman Long had 1,096 Errors over his career, which is more than anyone else.  It is an unbreakable record, but he did that in a time where errors were more easily given, and he was a player who was fearless in doing what was needed to stop the ball from getting past the infield.  This means that Long had incredible range, and his Defensive bWAR was very good, so despite the Errors, we have one of the best defensive players of his day.

178. Bob Shawkey

Bob Shawkey was a star on the rise with Connie Mack’s Philadelphia Athletics, but the cash-strapped team traded him to the New York Yankees during the 1915 season.

Shawkey had four 20 Win years for the Yanks, used both as a starter and reliever.  In 1916, he led the American League in Games Finished (24) and Saves, while posting a 2.21 ERA.  Shawkey would later win the ERA Title in 1920 and was a vital member of the Yankees’ 1923 World Series Championship Team.  Late in his career, he was part of another title win (1927), his last year as a player.  

He would retire with a record of 195-150.

170. Gavy Cravath

Gavy Cravath did not make the Majors until he was 27, where he spent 94 Games in 1908.  He did not make the best impression, and the following year he bounced around the minors, with stints with the Chicago White Sox and Washington Senators, before returning to the minors.  It would have been easy to think that this would be it for the slow-footed Rightfielder, but he found a home in Philadelphia in 1912.

The Phillies had an unlikely star in Cravath, who became one of the best power hitters of the dead-ball era.  Philadelphia played its home games in the Baker Bowl, a hitter-friendly park whose small dimensions were taken advantage of by Cravath.  He would win the National League Home Run Title six times, and while his numbers seem pedestrian today, they were an incredible accomplishment for their time.  Cravath also showed good plate discipline, twice leading the league in On Base Percentage, and he also led the NL in Slugging Percentage twice, OPS three times, and RBIs twice.  He also helped the Phillies win the National League Pennant in 1915. 

Cravath’s play fell off in 1920, but he was 39 at the time.  He retired shortly after.  He left the game with 119 Home Runs, a record for the century until it was destroyed by a player named Babe Ruth. 

258. Chet Lemon

Chet Lemon split his career with the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers, and over his career, the Centerfielder's main calling card was a dependable defense with underrated offensive skill.
