1. Whitey Ford? or Cye Young? darn it was Walter Johnson - looked it up :( RATS! should have waited, I would have guessed it with a list hehe
2. Cobb, Ruth, Mathewson, Johnson, and Wagner.
3. The Big Train Walter Johnson
4. Funny group of guys; Mathewson, Johnson, and Wagner were almost choir boys, while Ruth was a hard drinking, womanizing party animal and Cobb was about as despicable a human being as has ever been associated with the game (he and Landis are the scum of the Hall)...Off field conduct wasn't so important then...
