All-time baseball list...

So today's Hall of Fame announcement got me thinking -

Best baseball player to never win a World Series is ____________?

Totally cool with 2 different lists, for field players and pitchers.

Ted Williams?
Don Mattingly?
Ernie Banks?
Craig Biggio?
Nolan Ryan?

Ted Williams, but there a lot of great players that never won a world series pennant. Of course I'm partial and would say Harmon Killebrew.

Donnie Baseball most definitely. Ken Griffey, Jr. Mr. May, Dave Winfield. I'm sure there's more.

Bison · January 06, 2015, 10:17:01 PM

Dave Winfield he won a series with the Blue Jays.

Now that you mention it, I seem to remember something to that effect. Thanks for the correction.

I pretty sure Rod Carew never won a series. Tony Gwinn for sure. Every decent Boston play after Ruth left and before 2000 whatever it was when the won again. Every single Chicago Cubs play in the last century and they had some good ones.

yeah, but they had a lot of those guys that won titles elsewhere. Exhibit A: Greg Maddux

I should caveat it. Ernie Banks, Ryan Sandberg, that guy who interfered with the foul ball in the playoffs...

Tim Raines never won one, did he? Andre Dawson? Those awesome Expos teams with Gary Carter, Tim Wallach, Stever Rogers, Larry Parrish and so on.

No Raines and Dawson didn't, but I think Carter won with the Mets.

Carter captained the '86 Mets

Raines was on the '96 and '98 Yankees

Dawson got a ring with the '03 Marlins, but it was for his front office work with that team, since he's retired from the Marlins in '96.

Bison · January 06, 2015, 11:24:24 PM

I don't recognize the Yankees as World Series Champions.

MetalDog · January 06, 2015, 11:25:32 PM

Because you're a hater and fomenter of sports unrest.
