	Needs to be more consistent with the teams. Either put them all or just stick with the primary teams. McCovey barely played for the A's, but others played significantly for several teams not listed (Murray, Henderson, Perry, etc.)

	amwoods13:	Dec 13th, 2012 at 19:28 GMT		10 points
	Ditto to what jaysee said. Further examples are Jenkins, who you listed as PHI/CHC, but he pitched in a total of 8 games with the Phillies, all in relief, yet you left out Boston and Texas, where he pitched far more. For Jimmie Foxx, you only listed BOS, where he played 7 seasons, while leaving out the Philly A's, where he played 11 seasons. You listed the Yankees (3 seasons), but not the White Sox (5 seasons) for Raines. Duke Snider only played 1 season with the Mets, so not sure why they are listed as a "primary" team. You should probably review all the team listings for conformity.

	Philip Fink:	Dec 13th, 2012 at 19:46 GMT		4 points
	I know you didn't make this list, but Nolan Ryan ranked above Lefty Grove? There is something seriously wrong here (and that is just the beginning of the complaints).

	saf5109:	Dec 13th, 2012 at 19:53 GMT		8 points
	I think @OldHossRadbourn has done a fine job pointing out the inaccuracies of this list.

	ianmez:	Dec 13th, 2012 at 20:46 GMT		5 points
	Agreed--this should be changed to put the single team the player played the most games with, or at most the top two teams. Jenkins was the most confusing example that I saw.

	TrivialSteve:	Dec 13th, 2012 at 21:01 GMT		8 points
	Al Simmons should be listed as PHA.

	gbv:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 01:07 GMT		5 points
	I know it's not your fault, and I know everyone said it already, but I just have to reaffirm that this list is truly terrible.

	slugga27:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 02:00 GMT		5 points
	Just to reiterate the major issue here...consistency when listing teams. To me, as a Red Sox fan, I missed Jimmie Foxx, because you only had him listed for BOS and not PHA. And then A-Rod...I got this one because I'm not an idiot, but he DID play for Seattle. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how many teams are listed for each player...

	SamWuzHere4444:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 03:35 GMT		2 points
	How is Roy Halladay ranked higher than Tom Glavine? Glavine is a 300 game winner and should be a first ballot Hall of Fame member.

	saf5109:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 03:59 GMT		1 point
	Halladay has a better winning percentage, whip, ERA, average WAR etc. It really could go either way, both are great pitchers.

	deej:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 04:08 GMT		9 points
	Why would you list CIN for Christy Mathewson, who played ONE game for the Reds, yet omit SEA for A-Rod, who spent 7 seasons there? Inconsistent clues make this a bad quiz. Just put their one primary team. If you go on baseball-reference it lists their teams by game played. Do that.

	Murf1013:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 13:31 GMT		2 points
	I think the mags and websites and networks that make these lists put a few absurd ranks in just to get people talking. How else do you explain things like Nolan Ryan at #35? This list just did a terrible job with pitchers overall in my opinion. They also included a few guys that have been elected to the HOF in recent years who may have been worthy of that honor but aren't in the top 100 in my opinion. The one thing I will give them credit for is not playing the "PEDS" card.

	torourke:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 15:30 GMT		2 points
	Simmons made his mark as a member of the Philly A's

	jcannon15:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 15:31 GMT		4 points
	When you say Primary team, doesnt that mean just one?

	rsplenda477:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 16:39 GMT		3 points
	I can't believe Dave Winfield is not on here.

	swills13:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 21:31 GMT		1 point
	First off, I actually did enjoy this quiz (though like everyone else, the teams listed were occasionally an issue for me). That said, dear lord is this list awful. Obviously, any rankings of the top 100 baseball players are going to have people complaining but really, Gary Carter was a better player than Cap Anson? Clemens was better than Stan Musial? And how do Dave Winfield and Rafael Palmeiro, a member of both the 3000 hit and 500 hr clubs, not crack the top 100?

	Thinkyourcoolkid:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 21:58 GMT		-1 points
	One thing these rankings ALWAYS do that I will never understand is why they include McGwire and never Sosa. Sosa was a better player than McGwire, the only thing McGwire did was hit homers and Sosa finished with more than him. Steroids excluded, if McGwire is on this list, Sosa should be too.

	Philip Fink:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 22:21 GMT		2 points
	Well, one reason that should favor McGwire over Sosa is that he had a higher on-base percentage (.394 to .344), slugging percentage (.588 to .534), and OPS+ (163 to 128). So it wasn't like Sosa was comparable as a hitter.

	MattSpeed:	Dec 14th, 2012 at 23:09 GMT		2 points
	How about an asterisk for active players?

	Izzy24:	Dec 15th, 2012 at 10:23 GMT		4 points
	Johnny Mize is really underrated.

	alexandjeremy:	Dec 15th, 2012 at 18:12 GMT		2 points
	This may be getting a little too technical, but Cap Anson's only major league team was the Chicago White Stockings. He did play for the Philadelphia Athletics, but when Major League Baseball was not created yet.

	colorsmc2:	Dec 19th, 2012 at 05:34 GMT		1 point
	Not commenting on the creator, but the source........this list is missing some players that should be there.....some already mentioned; but others like Roy Campanella, Carl Hubbell (how does Blyleven rank above him)....there are players on here that are not in the Hall (Raines) and players that barely made it in (Blyleven, Santo); yet Hall of Famers don't make the list....disgraceful

	kjbopp:	Dec 21st, 2012 at 21:58 GMT		1 point
	Use baseball-reference as your source. Killebrew played 969 gms at 1st, 791 gms at 3rd, and 470 gms in LF.

	kjbopp:	Dec 21st, 2012 at 22:00 GMT		1 point
	...and personally, Al Simmons and Chuck Klein had parallel careers - can't include one w/o the other - and both players are sorely underrated.

	kjbopp:	Dec 22nd, 2012 at 05:55 GMT		2 points
	Gaylord Perry is the 66th greatest player of all time!?!?! Ed Walsh, Rube Waddell, Smokey Joe Wood 3-Finger Brown???
