Regarding Number 20.
Schmidt over Robinson AND Brock. You've gotta be kidding me. The only basis for this is home run blinders. Brock had 800 more hits. How many stolen bases did Schmidt have? Fielding percentage about the same over career, etc. The only thing that separates them is homers. Overrated stat. Give it up. Put Robinson 1, Brock 2 and MAYBE Schmidt 3

#14 Gil Hodges retired at number 10 on the all time home run list. Ahead of guys like Joe Dimaggio and Hank Greenberg. He won every Gold Glove from their inception until he retired. 8 times an All- Star. 2nd in majors in RBI and Home runs for the decade of the 50's. Helped Dodgers to 7 pennants and 2 World Championships. 7 straight seasons of 100+ RBI, 6 seasons of 30+ home runs. And let's not forget what he did as Manager of the Miracle Mets. It's a travesty that he's not in the Hall of Fame and a shame on you for not considering him.

I have to agree that Warren Spahn should be the greatest #21. In addition to his great pitching accomplishments, he was a very dangerous hitter.

I guess 500 home runs, a plus .300 career average, 1,600 walks, 1,700 RBIs, 2,400 hits, multiple all-star games, Silver Slugger awards and back-to-back MVP seasons doesn't even get you in the honorable mention category. It's unfathomable that #35 Frank Thomas isn't even mentioned.
