Hitting for average is, hands down Teddy Ballgame, Williams hit .344 with 521 homers in a career that was interrupted twice for wars. How huge could those numbers have been? I didn't forget Ty Cobb and his .367 career mark, he's #2 in my book.
Power, well that's another story. Bonds or Ruth? Time will tell where Bonds will untimately fall in the history of this game. But for name recognition, as well as his POSITIVE contributions to the sport as an ambassador, bringing a crumbling sport back from scandel is #3 in your programs,but #1 in our hearts and minds...Babe Ruth. He grabbed headlines then and would still in today's game. 714 will forever be, the most memorable number in baseball history.

The best left-handed baseball hitter in the game today is none other than Minnesota's own Joe Mauer, but...
Back then, in the early days of the baseball game, it was Ted Williams, he was something special.]

nicely, i do no longer understand if i could call it an unfair benefit, yet is a elementary actuality that lefties do have an benefit being nearer to first. confident, a lefty does ought to instruct to run, yet they're already in place to run as quickly as they swing, which ability they turn as they swing. With Ichiro, that's a extensive benefit, surprisingly along with his velocity. He can basically slap the ball, then beat it out employing his velocity, and the reality that he's a left-exceeded hitter. the bigger benefit that left-exceeded hitters have over good-exceeded hitters is that there are greater righties than lefties. information instruct that lefties hit righties greater proper than left-exceeded pitchers and righties hit lefties greater proper than righties. via fact of this why lefties have gained many greater batting titles. As on your different suggestions, interesting, yet i'm undecided that they could fly.

Everyone always talks about Williams losing 4-5 good years by serving our country, but no one ever seems to talk about Babe losing 4 years by being in the Red Sox rotation to start his career. The Babe is still #1, lefty or overall, doesn't matter.

Williams, and he was humble he did a sport show one time where he listed the top 50 hitters of all time, he neglected to list himself. I'm a Yankee fan and I think he was great.
