    Why Stan Musial could be the GOAT

    Musial's 3,630 hits split evenly, 1,815 at home and 1,815 on the road, a perfect symbol of his consistency. He won three MVPs and three titles and was an All-Star almost every year. He is perhaps the most underrated great in the sport's history.

    Stan Musial head to head

    How the ranking works. Every head-to-head vote is a result, like a game. The standings use a Bradley–Terry model, the same idea behind chess ratings: beating a highly rated legend counts for more than beating a long shot. Ratings are shown on a chess-style scale centred on 1500.

    One vote per matchup per person. If you see a pairing again in another session your new answer replaces the old one, so nobody can stuff the ballot by repeating a matchup.

    Anonymous by design. No account needed. A quick bot check from Cloudflare runs once when you arrive, and your votes are tied to a random ID kept in your browser, not to your name or email. Privacy policy.
