All the other answers are great, but to put Barry Bonds or A-Rod in there is just not smart. I liked Barry Bonds up until 2002 and well he just isnt a team player, and the whole steroid implications make his stats come into question. A-Rod isnt the third baseman that the yanks thought he would be. He is a great ballplayer, but that being said the Mantles and the Ruths and the Brooks Robinsons and Ty Cobbs and Nolan Ryans had much better career #s

1. Ted Williams (Would have had more HR in more lefty friendly park, would have more HR if he didn't go fight in two wars)
2. Roger Clemens (pitching in a hitters era)
3. Willie Mays (why wouldn't he be on this list)
4. Ty Cobb (hate him but hes gotta be here with the highest career batting average ever)
5. Johnny Bench (when you ask who was the greatest overall player at a position then you would argue...except Johnny Bench at catcher though I-Rod may bring up arguements in the future)

1. Ruth
2. Ted Williams
3. Mickey Mantle
4. Walter Johnson
5. Gehrig.
Anyone who would put Nolan Ryan or Roberto Clement on that list is out of his mind or doesn't know baseball. Seriously, pitching is about preventing runs, and Ryan was not the best pitcher of his own era, much less ever. As for Clemente, he was a great fielder and a good hitter, but he wasn't the best rightfielder of his own era(Aaron, F. Robinson).
