1) Dazzy Vance - another one for my best pitcher seasons
2) Babe Ruth - Best bat but not by leaps and bounds. Glove is declining. Postseason bonus moves him ahead of Hornsby.
3) Rogers Hornsby - poor fielder but positional value moves him up
4) Lou Gehrig - Great bat. Poor baserunning and lower positional value keeps him just below Hornsby.
5) Paul Waner - top of the "everyone else" part of the ballot
6) Freddie Lindstrom - Best 3B, great glove
7) Willie Wells - Best NGL player, best SS, on the best NGL team
8) Ted Trent - Best NGL pitcher, also on the best NGL team
9) Goose Goslin
10) Larry Benton

Jim Bottomley just missed the top 10
1. Babe Ruth, RF, New York Yankees: MLB leading 206 OPS+ and 173 RC
2. Rogers Hornsby, 2B, Boston Braves: NL leading 202 OPS+ but -11 fielding keeps him from catching Ruth
3. Lou Gehrig, 1B, New York Yankees: 193 OPS+ and 164 RC
4. Dazzy Vance, P, Brooklyn Robins: 190 ERA+ leads MLB and 280 IP ain't too shabby
5. Heinie Manush, LF, St. Louis Browns: 154 OPS+ and 153 RC
6. Goose Goslin, LF, Washington Senators: better production (176 OPS+) in fewer games (135) than Manush
7. Willie Wells, SS, St. Louis Stars: 184 OPS+ and the equivalent of +12 fielding
8. Burleigh Grimes, P, Pittsburgh Pirates: 330 IP leads MLB by a wide margin; 136 ERA+ is nothing to sneeze at
9. Jim Bottomley, 1B, St. Louis Cardinals: 2nd in NL with 162 OPS+ and 144 RC
10. Gabby Hartnett, C, Chicago Cubs: 142 OPS+ cracks the top ten, +10 fielding pushes him onto the ballot
11. Larry Benton, P, New York Giants: second most IP in MLB with 310 to go with 142 ERA+
12. Bill Sherdel, P, St. Louis Cardinals: a near copy of Benton, 141 ERA+ in 298 IP
13. Hack Wilson, CF, Chicago Cubs
14. Lefty Grove, P, Philadelphia Athletics: top pitcher in the AL
15. Ted Trent, P, St. Louis Stars: top pitcher in the Negro Leagues
16. Sheriff Blake, P, Chicago Cubs
17. Chick Hafey, LF, St. Louis Cardinals
18. Tommy Thomas, P, Chicago White Sox
19. Turkey Stearnes, CF, Detroit Stars
20. Garland Braxton, P, Washington Senators
1. Babe Ruth (29.50) - only squeaks it out due to post-season bonus
2. Dazzy Vance (29.40) - NL MMP
