Two GOATs Leave the Game

Dick Redding


Few players get to spend their entire career with one club, as the mighty Cannonball Redding has with the Sens. It's amazing that easily the two best pitchers so far (Rube Waddell notwithstanding) both played for Washington, and Dick and Train Johnson were greatly responsible for the franchise's great run in the 1910s.

Dick finishes his superb career with 378 wins (second only to his great friend) and 112.5 pWAR, 4th highest all-time), along with an exemplary 3.16 ERA. No doubt he'll be getting his call in five years' time.



Cristobal Torriente


The earlier problems I had with NeL hitters needs to be taken into consideration for Cristo, the early part of whose career fell during that period, costing him plenty. As did being parked behind Tris Speaker for so long. Still, he has put together some fine numbers indeed. Not sure they are good enough to get him into the HoF, which is a shame because he has given the game great service.
