Why Ray Dandridge ranks #220 in Baseball
Ray Dandridge ranks 220th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3043rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 76, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 234 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1933–1949 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1941, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes negro league all-star selections 4, mexican league titles 3, career batting average 0.319, minor league mvp awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Monte Irvin on 81.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Miguel Tejada on 80.8. 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.
