1. Ty Cobb - Ty was a complete psycho! but he played the game of baseball like no other. He ranks #1 all-time ba, #2 all-time hits, #2 all-time runs scored, #4 all-time steals, #5 all-time rbi's. With these type of numbers he didn't need the long ball. ( Greatest 5 tool player ) 2. George Herman Babe Ruth - He made the home run a spectacle of joy. #3 all-time hr's, #2 all-time rbi's, #4 all-time runs scored. Great pitching numbers as well. He could have had a lot better numbers had he taken better care of himself. 3. Hank Aaron - If you look up the word consistency in the dictionary you will see a picture of Hank's face. He did everything and he did it well. #1 all-time hr's, #1 all-time rbi's, #3 all-time hits, #3 all-time runs scored. solid as a rock. 4. Lou Gehrig - Babe's great shadow. Had Lou's career not ended at so early he would be #2 on this list. From 1926 to 1938 he averaged 153 rbi's a season, best ever over a 12 year period. Even with his short career he's #3 all-time rbi's, #9 all-time runs scored, #15 all-time ba, #21 all-time home runs., and he played in 2130 game in a row. Oh'... what could have been. 5. Cy Young - #1 all-time 511 career wins will not be touched ever. Won 30 or more games 4 times in his career. Won 21+ games 15 out of 22 seasons in the majors. Pitched 400+ innings 4 years. Is #16 all-time in strike outs. Was so good, baseball named it's highest pitching honor after him.
