Looks up "hoisted on his own petard." I don't speak for @fangraphs or @baseballpro, but I can't imagine they are any more excited about this idea than we are.
There are a couple of reasons. 1) occasionally mistakes are uncovered and we re-calculate WAR numbers, 2) new rules like the extra inning baserunner or no NL DH force us to reformulate things, or 3) a data provider like BIS recalculates historical DRS with better values,

As a first cut for consideration, I'll probably draw the line at 40+ WAR.
That gives you 17.
Bonds, Clemens, Schilling, Walker, Jeter,
Rolen, Ramirez, Jones, Helton, Sheffield,
Pettitte, Abreu, Sosa, Kent, Giambi,
Vizquel, Lee
I think I've been undervaluing just how good Giambi's peak was. Avg of all HOF 1bman had a WAR7 of 42.7.
