Description of Best Players of the Modern Era (the early years: 1973-1992)

These are the best players in their best season from this era.

The 1970's and 80's were an exciting time for baseball. The pain of integration was complete and the introduction of the designated hitter ushered in the modern era. New strategies, such as using closers and a five man pitching rotation, were devised. Star players emerged, benfiting from the changes, such as Jim Rice and Goose Gossage. Other players, such as Dennis Eckersley, rejuvinated their careers and found even greater fame in their new roles.

The top eight players at each position were chosen from each league from 1973 to 1992. That makes 80 infielders, 48 outfielders and 160 pitchers. As a bonus, a new set of the eight best designated hitters were added. Draft all-star teams and play the NL versus the AL.


See the stunning roster of Stars and Hall of Famers.

The rosters include:

Year, Batting Average and number of Home Runs during best eligible season, whether or not the player was in the Hall of Fame as of the beginning of the 2002 season and comments, all by position and league.
