I grew up in a suburb of Milwaukee in the 50’s and 60’s and remember Eddie Matthew’s well, as he was my favorite Milwaukee Braves player. I played 3rd base in my short undistinguished career in Little League because of him. In high school my bus route drove by his house, a ranch house, as those were the days when baseball players were middle class. Now I have a baseball signed by him in my study. Thanks for a bringing back good memories.
I like that list. Except for Home Run Baker, all in my lifetime and most I saw in person. Favorite? Brooks. My Dad let me stay home from school to watch the '70 Series, I was 12, and Brooks killed it. Still etched in my memory.
yeah baby! Brooks and Schmidt! totally see this just from the eye test when I was younger. Hot corner Kings! I have my closet fav' The Penguin from the Big Blue Wrecking Crew of the 70s though. Cey hey Ronny.
Where do the Boyer brothers fit on this list?
Terry Pendelton?
Huge Schmidt/Phillies fan and Braves hater, but Chipper is way to low. You could argue he should be 2 or 3

Another great list. No qualms. Beltre maybe swapped for Brett but pretty darn perfect.
Cook!
Could Jose Ramirez pass Arenado?
