Having the designation of being a MLB 'best player in the history of the
franchise' is both a fun and dicey topic. Some of them are true no-brainers but
others are not as crystal clear. Franchise length has something to do with as
well since how to compare the Cubs (pre-dating 1900) franchise with the Marlins
(1993)? To be a best player in franchise history means the player was there for
at least 7 or 8 years at minimum. We went deep and will cover the AL in Episode
121.
Correction: Billy Williams of the Cubs is of course in the HOF!
