Why Frank Chance ranks #142 in Baseball
Frank Chance ranks 142nd among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1422nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 88, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 262 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1898–1914 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1903, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world series titles 2, pennants as manager 4, career batting average 0.296, career stolen bases 401.
Immediately ahead sits Red Faber on 86.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Kirby Puckett on 86.4. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
