Down With OBP (OPS, Not So Much)

Dead: Eddie Yost, who, if he played in the present era, would have been a Sabermetrics fan's dream, because he led the AP in walks six times, getting nicknamed "The Walking Man" in the process. He scored over 100 runs five times, led the league in doubles once, and just managed to get on base. He then was a longtime coach, notably with the '69 Mets championship team, and he seemed really old at the time to me, but he was younger then than I am now, so... let's just forget I brought that up.
