Baseball's best players...via uniform number

Posted on 09:00 by Unknown
Sports Illustrated recently ran an online story compiling the best players in baseball by their uniform number, i.e. the best player to wear #5, or the best player to wear #20, etc. It was some interesting reading (for one member of the House of Gordon at least) but didn't generate much controversy. Some folks tried to argue that for #42 Mariano Rivera is a better choice than Jackie Robinson, but they are respectfully full of crap.

Some Cleveland Indians made the list to Chris's joy. Some players were listed who at one time wore an Indians uniform (Bert Blyleven, Rick Sutcliffe, Roberto Alomar, etc.) but couldn't consider Cleveland their "primary" team. Here are the Indians who made the cut:

#18 - Mel Harder

#19 - Bob Feller

#29 - Satchel Paige

#52 - C.C. Sabathia

#63 - Rafael Betancourt
Peruse the entire list. Anything you agree with 100%? Anything stand out as idiotic?
