Dang!! You sure can ask some toughies. We
have to go back before our time and then all
we can do is read about some greats.
Personally, I don't think you can name ONE
greatest all around player because there are
several that are equally "greatest". Al Rosen
of the Cleveland Indians in the late 40s and
early 50s was a super player. More modern
player was Pete Rose who was a great hitter
and fielder. That's just two and I could go on
and on like Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig and the likes.
I don't think there was just one greatest.
Sorry.

Babe Ruth may be the cliche answer, but he was a probable Hall-of-Fame pitcher before his hitting ability became so incredible that he switched to the outfield permanently. Not a half-bad base runner, he also batted .342 lifetime. Until some other really good player can somehow both pitch and hit in his career, the Babe is the only logical answer.

Babe Ruth- He hit, he pitched, and he even played the feild. This man is the greatest player to ever play Major League Baseball.

NO DOUBT, The "say hey kid" is the best all around baseball player. (Willie Mays) He had tremendous power, speed, and fielding. I saw that a person put derek jeter before me and that is wrong because jeter has average power and a little bit above average speed. Mays had tremendous power, exceptional speed, and spectacular defense.

Ruth. Could hit -- man, could he hit -- and could pitch pretty well too, though he mostly gave it up. No one else delivers that sort of one-two punch at the levels of excellence he did.

I would say Roberto Clemente. He was an incredible player that died way before his time.
