The 50's were a great decade for CF talent. Mays, Mantle, Snider, Ashburn, Doby, Virdon, Piersall, Bell.
So were the 90's. Griffey, Edmonds, Jones, Williams, Puckett, Lankford, Lofton, Grissom, Finley, Johnson.
Guys can count for two decades too (in the case of Cobb - 3), i.e. Mays - 50's/60's, Griffey 90's/00's. I generally gave guys - Virdon, Puckett - 5 years a decade. Let's not get crazy, for example: I didn't count Dale Murphy in the 90's. Consider whole career contributions, how guys were viewed at the time, how they are viewed in hindsight.
Which decade do you think had the most talent in CF?
