You might say what, no Barry Bonds? Well in my oppinion he used steroids. And some home run hitters are missing, because just because you hit home runs does NOT make you a good player!

Answer 7

1. Babe Ruth (how many people can you say singlehandedly saved a sport?)

2. Joe Dimaggio (in argument for best all around player ever)

3. Ty Cobb (argument can be made he's best player EVER, a bigoted racist, and a violent sociopath lol, but a great player)

4. Mickey Mantle

5. Ted Williams (purest hitter ever)

6. Walter Johnson (I think Greatest pitcher ever)

7. Willie Mays (best all around player ever, not best hitter, but best all around, for damn sure the best outfielder ever)

8. Lou Gherig ....(you look up his numbers and your eyes will drop out, i know mine did, he had several years where he had a stat line like 45hr 160rbi 340ba...he had one year where he hit 363 had 49hr and drove in 184rbi LMAO!. thats MIND boggling, but when you think of greatest ever he gets overlook because he played on the Yankee teams that Babe Ruth played on)

9. Rogers Hornsby

10. Sandy Koufax/Bob Gibson/Mariano Rivera in a flat foot tie

Answer 10

at any position from any era..
1. big josh gibson ( the greatest ever. better than ruth, only he gets not credit)
2. leroy "satchel" paige (greatest pticher ever. at age of 47 he was still blowing away hitters, as a rookie in MLB)
3. jackie robinson ( he wasn't only playing for himself, the dodgers but for a whole race. he could have faded quick, being booed constantly, getting death threats and not even being accepted by most of his teammates. what he overcome alone is hall of fame worthy, but his numbers are also hall of fame worthy. he's my hero.
4. george babe ruth - 714 homers and 94 wins as a pitcher. can't really say much about that.
5. the iron man lou gehrig - he didn't stand in babe's shadow, he stood next to it. he won championship after championship without missing a game or even playing hurt. he wasn't playing for a record, he was playing because he was good. cal doesn't own that record. it's still lou's. cal played just to play for the record. he played hurt too much and that cost his teams many games and many chances to win the big one. cal should have taken a seat one game before the record out of respect. lou probably would have played another 5 seasons without missing a game, while still batting 300 and hitting atleast 30 homers.
6. barry bonds - yea steroids steroids. that was his era. if he took them, he was never caught. until 3 years ago, baseball had not even made steroids a banned substance. how can you break the rules, if there isn't a rule. and plus, the pitchers he hit off of in the late 90's were probably juicing too, as well as the fielders he hit to. that was the era. everyone was atleast trying it.
7. say hey willie mays - greatest center fielder of all time. 660 homers. basket catches, great guy.
8. joltin joe dimaggio - 2 nd greatest center fielder. he could hit like no other. and man. he was married the the world's greatest sex symbol. come on!!
9. the rocket roger clemens - another possible steroid user, but those were the times. close to 350 wins in the modern era. a very low career era. and in his mid 40's he's still better than 96% of the pitchers in the game.
10. mark the bird fidrych - okay a very short career.... but i love him.1976 al roy. 19-9 with 24 complete games. check that out. 5 complete games that he lost. he was the first rock star baseball player. guy today need to thank him for that. when he'd leave the mound at the end of the game, fans wouldn't leave tiger stadium until bird came out and did a curtain call. he sold out ever home start he pitched in '76. pretty amazing since tiger stadium held over 50,000 and the team that year wasn't that great. he would talk to the ball, pat the mound down with his hands. run out to a player that made a great play and shake his hand during the inning. the guy loved baseball, breathed baseball. he was so popular in detroit............his rookie contract only paid him $18 grand, fans would mail him money because they felt bad that the man that was selling the tickets wasn't getting a piece. the next year at arbritration, instead of hiring an agent and hitting bank, his dad repped him, and took a modest contract just to stay with the city that loved him. sadly the next year at lakeland, he jammed his knee goofing around with the outfielders, he continued to pitch with his hurt knee, and ended up blowing out his elbow. the bird may not have been around that long, but he is the greatest. atleast in my mind.
