Johnson's delivery always amazes me. You can see why hitters had so much trouble picking the ball up, but it's much harder to see how he managed to be the hardest-throwing pitcher in the game *and* throw nearly 6,000 innings.https://twitter.com/BSmile/status/1153292515338063872 …

Measured by Wins Above Replacement, the 19 best players over their best 10-season stretches, letting Williams, Musial & Alexander use a wider window to offset wartime absences. (I give Alexander his 0.4 WAR from 3 appearances in 1918; it doesn't change his rank on the list).pic.twitter.com/Zf22t5vES1

If you want to know how much money some of those guys would make today for that kind of performance, consider that Pujols & A-Rod are the *last* two names on the chart. Instead, Kid Nichols was working as an elevator operator when he was 79.

Grover Cleveland Alexander is also the only one on the list to be played in a major motion picture by a future President.

Not surprising Bonds is the only player whose 10 year stretch began in his 30s

My favorite part about that chart is to think that the Cardinals sent Pujols packing basically the second after that run. . .

Pujols was the textbook example of "better let a guy go a year too early than a year too late."
