Wasn’t that game played in Houston @ Colt Stadium rather than Shea Stadium in NY?”

You’re correct, Leona!

That doesn't make it right, but if you're going to argue with James, you'd better have some heavy artillery to back up your argument. I'd lean towards Eddie Collins (#2 in James' book), and my personal favorite is Ryne Sandberg (#7 in James' book), although I don't believe Ryno is the best second basemen in history; he was just my favorite to watch. Another interesting point about James' book is that he has Craig Biggio ranked fifth. The book came out in 2001, though, and Biggio played seven more full seasons after the book's release (his stats are listed through 2000 in the book). I'd have to think Biggio did enough in those seven years to move him past Jackie Robinson at #4, but I'm not sure he should be in the top three.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1608','Mike Lynch'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('1608','Mike Lynch','I agree with Justin about Morgan, but Bill James has him ranked #1 in his Historical Baseball Abstract.
