Why George Davis ranks #146 in Baseball
George Davis ranks 146th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1443rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 90, Honours 80, Statistics 92. 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 1890–1909 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1893, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career hits 2665, career batting average 0.295, career stolen bases 616, world series titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Ted Simmons on 86.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Mickey Cochrane on 86.2. 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.
