Those were 2 guys who crossed my mind as not being on the list who should've been, although you have to admire a guy who never had overpowering stuff and is still effective. I would've also given an honorable mention to Satchel Paige.Quote:

Dave Winfield was amazing as well.
D'oh boy. I have no idea where I got that from. Sorry about that. :o
Memo to self: Self, next time check your facts before you post definitive statements.

Yes, Paige was an all-star at age 45 and 46 and tossed 3 innings of shutout ball in a start for the KC A's back in 1965 at age 58. Did Charlie Finley own the team then?
@michaelg, Winfield was absolutely ageless at age 40, but rapidly declined after that magical 1992 season. I wouldn't put him in the top 10, but as a Blue Jay fan I will never forget his age 40 season. :)
Yes. As I understand it, bringing Paige back was mostly a publicity stunt, but Finley had also found out that Paige only needed a few more days on a big league roster to qualify for a ML pension.Quote:
