Hint... The top 3 have been selected #1 in 59 of the 72 draft... The other 4 have combined for the other 13 times selected number 1

Koufax once. I think you had to be in that league to know it.

The big three have to be Gibson, Ruth and Bonds.

Maddux, Hornsby I know have been taken first overall.

Either Mantle or Pedro would be the other spot.

Koufax not in the 72 that are completed, must have been in the past 6-7 weeks. There is one outlier nobody has guessed, drafted only once at #1 but mostly a lot lower.

Nailed it with Teddy Ballgame being the ultra-outlier. Williams was only sporadically drafted in the top 10 in other drafts. The team that picked William first went 78-84 and disappointedly did not make the playoffs
