My original list had Gorman Thomas instead of Rollie Fingers. Then I thought about with Thomas' low BA despite his scary power, and Fingers' was the big piece putting them over the hump to win the pennant. I was even struggling trying to put in Larry Hisle. That was an awesome team. Sorry Cardinals fan. I was rooting for them in 1982. |
