Who is the Best Major League Baseball Player of all time?

Answer 1

Babe Ruth or,in my opinion Nolan Ryan

Answer 2

Everyone else who answered this question, I have the REAL Answer. Trust me. I'm really good in the field of baseball. The best player in Major League Baseball history is, without a doubt, Cal Ripken Jr. In 1995, he play in his 2,141 game in a row, breaking the old streak held by the Iron Man, Lou Gherig. He continued to play untuil 2001, when he retired. That is my opinion the greatest Major League Baseball player ever.

Answer 4

Cal Ripken is not even the best shortstop ever. Matthewson is not even the best pitcher.

Ruth has the best numbers, both raw and against his time. He is the only slugger who also had a real career as a pitcher.
The only way you can argue against him is to discredit his numbers because of the competition.

And sorry, players like Mays are better all around, but not better. You can have thirteen knives and all I have is a bazooka, but I think I can win in the fight. Ruth is the bazooka.

Answer 5

That's a tough question, because there are no criteria available to narrow the selection down.

However, I'd say the best all-around baseball player ever is the aforementioned Babe Ruth. He was a great pitcher, and then became the greatest power hitter of his generation. And he did it all with a completely un-athletic body and horrible training habits.

Answer 6

A-Rod.Why?I keep in mind that day he hit a typical baseman to make him drop the ball, while he yelled interior the ear of yet another infielder, maximum of cases he had needlessly stumble upon different infielders (an there are some that feels like idiots, sure like in the event that they have been afraid of enjoying not hassle-free lower back to him) and notably his loss of guts while his team desires him the main, sure while he starts off puffing preluding a strikeout while the intensity of the momment is killing him.Carlos Zambrano hit Jimmy Edmons some years in the past and fairly of Jimmy raction I observed him charging to Jimmy.(I savour the reality that Jimmy took him deep interior the subsequent at bat.

Answer 7

Rickey Henderson, Willie Mayes, Roberto Clemente, Barry Bonds, and Cal Ripken Jr.

Answer 8

Babe Ruth he was a premier pitcher before he became an everday player because of his bat. .342 avg, 714 homers, had over 130 triples. In any baseball game when you can select all time players everyone wants the Babe.

Ty Cobb "The Georgia Peach". He had the most votes for the first HOF election. More than Ruth, Young, Wagner ETC. lifetime BA of over 350.
