RIP

 

[Cujo]

I used to have his baseball card.

[NoDak]

Was he the guy David Letterman called a big tub of goo?

RIP

Edit: I checked. It wasn’t. That was Terry Forster.

 

[boozeman]

RIP. I still remember his four homer game.

I'm not putting a white guy at #1 who never had to play against black guys. Sorry.

Edit: Hank Aaron should be #1.
Edit 2: How is Bob Gibson not on the list?

 

[Genghis Khan]

Pedro Martinez as the 11th best player of all time feels wildly crazy.

Or the guy with the most hits.

And no Nolan Ryan.

Absolutely.

Agreed, and not just because I'm a hate-filled Yankee fan. Don't tell Cotton about Nolan Ryan.

For sure.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Ruth has the best OPS+ of all time so I'm good with it.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Pete Rose is about 469th all time in OPS+. Massively overrated.

Ted Williams only at 5 seems low. That guy was just the perfect baseball player. His missed seasons to serve during wartime in the prime of his career would have put him up at the top of almost all of the big stat numbers if he had just followed his career averages.

But the guys above him do make a good argument for where they're at.

Yeah I wouldn't argue with anyone who ranked him 1.
