Obviously, there are two main choices: Ty Cobb and Al Kaline. The thing is, define best: most talented or best complete baseball player. Most talented is Ty Cobb, best complete baseball player is Al Kaline.

Ty Cobb is considered the BEST baseball player of all time.
But in my heart I would say Al Kaline, as I actually saw him play in his prime. PLus the man has class and style; and is currently a Special Assistant to David Dombrowski and has a positive powerful say in the day to day operations of The Detroit Tiger Baseball Club.

Ty Cobb the best.
Al Kaline the favorite.
There's a difference between best and favorite.
But someone could pick a player like Hank Greenberg and who could argue. He spent part of his career in World War II.

It's a close one between Kaline and Cobb. I'm going with the Georgia Peach though. Tyrus Raymond Cobb

Ty Cobb.
But there are some pretty good ones lined up behind him -- Greenberg, Kaline, Heilmann, Kell, Gehringer, Kuenn. Trammell and Whitaker. Not a huge amount of great pitchers, but there's Newhouser, Morris, and McLain was unstoppable for a few seasons.

Denny McClain and Mickey Lolich were their best pitcher.
Had to say something else besides Cobb and Kaline.
