This site is dedicated to tracking the greatest players in the history of every Major League franchise.
In the coming weeks, I will post 25-man rosters including starting lineups, five-man pitching rotations, reserve players, and bullpens made up of the all-time best players for each team in the Major Leagues.
We will also monitor news and current performances that could change the way we rank the best players in each team’s history.
About the Project
I have always enjoyed learning about baseball history. The process of determining and tracking each team’s best players has appealed to me since I began researching baseball’s greatest players in my spare time more than a decade ago.
This is the type of conversation that millions of people have with their friends and families every year. Every passionate baseball fan has spent hours debating the talents and careers of the game’s great players.
Franchise Phenoms is my way of contributing to that conversation, and connecting with fans who love the game and its history as much as I do.
