His numbers are very similar to Don Drysdale's, yet DD is a HoFer and Pappas isn't. The politics of glory.

I'd put these #1 and #2 in terms of their respective lopsidedness.

Yankees trade Willie McGee to Cardinals for Bob Sykes, 1981.

McGee had a borderline HOF career, Sykes never pitched in the big leagues again.

Herschel Walker for a billion picks that turned into Emmitt Smith, Darren Woodson, Kevin Smith, Russell Maryland and Larry Brown among others.

The all-time leading rusher, one of the great SS ever, two players who made an all-pro team and two SB MVPs.

James Harden for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, and two draft picks that turned into Mitch McGary and Steven Adams. Even with Adams being a solid NBA center as of recently, this is still easily one of the worst trades in NBA history.

Yeah how did that trade work out for the Rams? Lol. The Skins at least made the playoffs with RG3.

I'll submit Mitch Richmond for Chris Webber.
