How many agree?

that when I rank players, if I don't include players that played in MLB before it was integrated in 1947[a player had to play more than 5 yrs after 1947]?

Update:

TED WILLIAMS, I WOULD RANK - DIMAGGIO MAYBE - MY POINT IS BEFORE JACKIE RECORDS ARE SUSPECT CUZ OF NO BLACK FOLK

    Why not also exclude players that played in the old ***** leagues as well? How about the Cuban players that have not had the chance to play MLB?

    There are many players before 1947 that would be great anyway. The proof is that some had great years before and after 1947. Ever hear of Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams?

    Why would you not include guys like Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, and Hack Wilson???

    They were "better" than alot of guys today.
