The GOAT List

Post by MrUndershaft »

This thread is intended to capture the Thurman Munson League's Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) players. The selections process is as follows:
1. For a player to be GOAT eligible, they must (a) be retired and (b) have been named to at least three All-Star teams during their career.
2. Each year beginning with 2001, two players will be selected. In years ending in -0 or -5, the two highest-rated position players will be selected. For all other years, the highest-ranked position player and the highest-ranked pitcher will be selected.
3. The rankings will be based on Bill James' Hall of Fame Career Standards Test. In the event of two players having the same score, the tiebreakers, in order, shall be (1) total All-Star selections, (2) Total World Series championships, (3) total pennants, (4) total individual awards, (5) total games played.
4. Position score shall be based proportionally on actual number of games started at each position (rounded down).
5. A player's eligibility never expires.

The GOAT list is not intended to replace the TML Hall of Fame (though I will be advocating anyone on this list not yet inducted should be!)

My goal is to be caught up in time to induct the Class of 2250 (the 499th and 500th GOATs) by the end of the 2250 season. To achieve that goal, I will be inducting six classes per season, with a class being inducted on the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of the two "regular season" weeks in each season and no inductions taking place during the week that includes the playoffs and offseason.

With all that out of the way...
