While the story of Willie Wilson can not be described without discussing the 1983 drug charge where he and three other teammates were jailed for 81 days for attempting to purchase cocaine (he was suspended for the first six weeks of the 1984 season) this is not how we remember the fleet-footed outfielder.

There are many who might think the ranking of Kevin Appier is very high.  We get that.  He was an All-Star only once and was never a 20 Game winner.  Realistically he was a Cy Young candidate only once in his career (1993) where he finished third in voting, a season where he would win the ERA Title.  This seems good, but third overall for a franchise?

Bret Saberhagen played the first eight of his seasons in the Majors with the Kansas City Royals and there was a definite pattern to his annual performances:  If the season was an even number Saberhagen likely had a subpar campaign.  If it was an odd number, it was a good one...in some cases it was very good! 

Come on, could we have possibly picked anyone else?

George Brett is among the top hitters in Baseball history and arguably the best one to ever play regularly at Third Base (though Mike Schmidt might argue).
