    Barney McCosky was another one of those ballplayers from the WWII era who lost some of their best years to the war. My dad played with Barney and told me Barney was one of the best contact hitters he ever saw. It showed in his MLB career .312 batting average and low strikeout totals.-BH

    Arguably one of the best pitchers of the 1980s was Bret Saberhagen with the Royals.

    Saberhagen was definitely pretty good in the 80's. Jason Varitek and Trot Nixon are on the list. Nixon was Variteks teammate for a couple years. Teixeira who is off to a very nice April is also celebrating one!
