This was actually a pretty solid list. I think Joe Morgan and Rickey Henderson were a bit too high and Walter Johnson too low, but not bad. The player I continue to see get overlooked in most lists is Lefty Grove. He was a nine-time ERA leader, which is most in MLB history. I usually tend to also include Negro League players. My top 10 in order is: 1 – Babe Ruth 2 – Willie Mays 3 – Ty Cobb 4 – Walter Johnson 5 – Josh Gibson 6 – Barry Bonds 7 – Hank Aaron 8 – Ted Williams 9 – Lou Gehrig 10 – Lefty Grove
How are Randy Johnson and Steve Carlton on but not Pedro? Also, in terms of being dominant compared to compitition at your time, yes, Ruth is the best. In terms of todays game, itโs Bonds.
1. i think bonds should be higher 2. i think mariano rivera or trevor hoffman, if not both belong on this list 3. Mike Trout should probably be on here too.
Connie Mack, John McGraw, Joe McCarthy and Casey Stengel each said Ty Cobb was the best player of all-time. And they definitely have more credibility than this dope who made this list. Ty Cobb also received more Hall of Fame induction votes than Babe Ruth so even the media who saw them play said Cobb was better. Yet this clown who never saw Cobb or Ruth play arrogantly thinks heโs more qualified to make out an All-Time greatest list 9roughly 100 years later0 than people who were eye-witnesses at the time. Nice try putz but no other MLB player before or since set as many different records by the time they retired as did Ty Cobb.
Lou Gehrig was a bench warmer for 2 years playing in 23 games going into the 3rd and only got to play once a player got beaned ! , his first year was a roller over and die type year feeling discouraged sitting on that bench His last year shouldnโt even count playing 8 agonizing games Therefore he actually only played 14 years ! Anyway disregard that and go by games played in. Take total bases , times on base , stolen bases , sacrifices , extra base hits ,runs batted in and runs scored ,,, add that up and divide it by games ,,, 14615 ,,, now divide by games 2164 = 6.753. # 1 beating all players making him the goat Not good enough , check all offense stats giving a point every time a player is in the top 10 then divide that to see who is the best amongst their peers during that era ( most logical true way to dismiss different era gripe ( truth too ) ) and Lou is the goat Took 3 elements with all the stats and Lou is the winner in any era , and talk about rip offs with 2 and a 1/4 years on the bench frustration and abrupt end , Lou would had played in 3000 + strait No woulda coulda shoulda excuses none less Lou is the goat Try any player with these formulas and next to Lou they fall even thou he was flat footed Cobb was ridiculous as Rickey at 279 was superb Rickey. 2242 Cobb. 2033 Bonds. 1954 Wagner. 1719. Henry. 1717 Brock. 1714 Mays. 1664 Alex. 1606 Babe. 1579 Tris 1567 Raines. 1521 Morgan. 1502 Add triples to their extra base hits , Rickey with 2242 extra base hits ! Why not , Ted Williams claimed a walk was equal to a hit than a stolen base is equal to a extra base hit ,,,,,, Extra base with triple Ted is at 68th place Greasiest producer is Henry with bonds Mays rose babe Alex Cobb Stan tris Could not stand Williams attitude, Bigger fields back then , no way can there be a 400 hitter today with smaller parks ,,, 20 extra hits as a 360 hitter with 500 at bats from 180 hits to 200 hits thatโs it The fielders played deep to prevent the ball being hit over their head allowing 20+ bloops to land in front of them , today they play in 30 feet and are catching those bloops ,,, also there are less triples today , , Gwynn would had had a 375 life time bat then and Ted today would had been a 310 hitter. Itโs called wisdom , to reason to read between the lines But even in the smaller parks batting 310 lou would had been the goat doing the most with the least and leading amongst his peers
You cannot compare baseball players across different eras. Absolutely ridiculous. You have to define eras and then say who are the top players of those eras. Comparing Babe Ruth with more modern players is absurd!
Very difficult to pin down whoโs best players with pitchers and hitters at the same time Should be a goat for each position played including DH. Why not ! Ted said walks are like hits , not quite but if so than stolen bases are like extra base hits , , , Top 12 breaking 1500,, 2242. Henderson 2033. Cobb 1954. Bonds 1719. Wagner 1717. Henry 1714. Brock 1664. Mays 1606. Alex 1569. Babe 1557. Tris 1521. Raines 1502. Morgan
I see plenty of comments on Albert Pujols not being on the list. If his career had kept going the way it started in his Cardinals years I can see him making the list. Only Ty Cobb hit for higher average than Hornsby. Albert is a top 5 Cardinal along with Gibson, Hornsby, and Musial but those are the only Cardinals worthy of a top 15 all-time list. I wold say Albert is the number 4 Cardinal all-time. Albert did keep hitting homers for the Angels but his lifetime average came way down and he did not age as well as Hornsby, Musial, and Gibson. My opinion. Cards fan

Get rid of the steroid takers.
Babe/Cobb/Gehrig/Cy Young/Walter Johnson
Ty Cobb changed the game and invented modern baseball I think he is no1
How are Randy Johnson and Steve Carlton on but not Pedro? Also, in terms of being dominant compared to compitition at your time, yes, Ruth is the best. In terms of todays game, itโs Bonds.
No Lou !!! Wtf. Not a true list. No Mathewson? Come on
1. i think bonds should be higher
2. i think mariano rivera or trevor hoffman, if not both belong on this list
3. Mike Trout should probably be on here too.
Kgjr
yes, because pumping your guts with drugs makes you good. takes notes kids
The Roger… really should be included is Maris, not Clemens
Your list is horrible. What is with the 'roid boys?!

Switch Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens
Bad list, too many PEDS players. Bonds is a joke.
Seeing Bonds in the thumbnail is like looking at a "Worlds riches" list and seeing El Chapo or Pablo Escobar.
Terrible list.
Lou Gehrig was a bench warmer for 2 years playing in 23 games going into the 3rd and only got to play once a player got beaned ! , his first year was a roller over and die type year feeling discouraged sitting on that bench
His last year shouldnโt even count playing 8 agonizing games
Therefore he actually only played 14 years !
Anyway disregard that and go by games played in.
Take total bases , times on base , stolen bases , sacrifices , extra base hits ,runs batted in and runs scored ,,, add that up and divide it by games ,,, 14615 ,,, now divide by games 2164 =
6.753. # 1 beating all players making him the goat
Not good enough , check all offense stats giving a point every time a player is in the top 10 then divide that to see who is the best amongst their peers during that era ( most logical true way to dismiss different era gripe ( truth too ) ) and Lou is the goat
Took 3 elements with all the stats and Lou is the winner in any era , and talk about rip offs with 2 and a 1/4 years on the bench frustration and abrupt end , Lou would had played in 3000 + strait
No woulda coulda shoulda excuses none less Lou is the goat
Try any player with these formulas and next to Lou they fall even thou he was flat footed
Cobb was ridiculous as Rickey at 279 was superb
Rickey. 2242
Cobb. 2033
Bonds. 1954
Wagner. 1719.
Henry. 1717
Brock. 1714
Mays. 1664
Alex. 1606
Babe. 1579
Tris 1567
Raines. 1521
Morgan. 1502
Add triples to their extra base hits , Rickey with 2242 extra base hits ! Why not , Ted Williams claimed a walk was equal to a hit than a stolen base is equal to a extra base hit ,,,,,,
Extra base with triple Ted is at 68th place
Greasiest producer is Henry with bonds Mays rose babe Alex Cobb Stan tris
Could not stand Williams attitude,
Bigger fields back then , no way can there be a 400 hitter today with smaller parks ,,,
20 extra hits as a 360 hitter with 500 at bats from 180 hits to 200 hits thatโs it
The fielders played deep to prevent the ball being hit over their head allowing 20+ bloops to land in front of them , today they play in 30 feet and are catching those bloops ,,, also there are less triples today , ,
Gwynn would had had a 375 life time bat then and Ted today would had been a 310 hitter.
Itโs called wisdom , to reason to read between the lines
But even in the smaller parks batting 310 lou would had been the goat doing the most with the least and leading amongst his peers

Ted said walks are like hits , not quite but if so than stolen bases are like extra base hits , , , Top 12 breaking 1500,,
2242. Henderson
2033. Cobb
1954. Bonds
1719. Wagner
1717. Henry
1714. Brock
1664. Mays
1606. Alex
1569. Babe
1557. Tris
1521. Raines
1502. Morgan
Too many pitchers on here. I canโt take any list seriously without Johnny Bench and Pete Rose missing.
Nobody respects Jackie Robinson
Babe Ruth is not as good as willie mays
Lefty Grove is one of the five best pitchers of all-time. You can't leave him off this list.
Idiot you obviously dont know baseball bonds did steroids along with others they don't deserve to be on the list
Terrible list. Steroid takers do not deserve inclusion. You do not have much baseball knowledge.
No Roberto Clemente? WTF
Your list is shit.
Pete Rose?
I see plenty of comments on Albert Pujols not being on the list. If his career had kept going the way it started in his Cardinals years I can see him making the list.

My opinion. Cards fan
Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Alex Rodriguez shouldn't be on the list.
Where is pujols and ken Griffey
Here is my all-time MLB Dream Team roster:
RF – Ruth, Aaron
CF – Mays, Cobb
LF – Williams, Bonds
SS – Wagner, A-Rod
3B – Schmidt, Matthews
2B – Hornsby, Morgan
1B – Gehrig, Thomas
C – Gibson, Berra
P – Walter Johnson, Satchel Paige, Lefty Grove, Greg Maddox, Randy Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Roger Clemens, Grover Cleveland Alexander, Warren Spahn
If had to win one game:
1 – Cobb (RF)
2 – Mays (CF)
3 – Ruth (DH)
4 – Hornsby (2B)
5 – Williams (LF)
6 – Gibson (C)
7 – Gehrig (1B)
8 – Schmidt (3B)
9 – Wagner (SS)
SP – Walter Johnson
Lou Gehrig (#11) had Walter Johnson's image (#12). I also think Gehrig should be Top 10.
But nice list.
I think this is actually a really good list with only a couple of flaws one being nolan ryan
Fuck this videoooo, A-Rod he is not better than clemente!๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Albert Pujols ๐
If you played with no black people itโs not a real list
Finally speaker is in a list
replace a rod with griffey and randy johnson is way better than clemens
Weres ken griffey on this list he might be number 1 and hes not on here no way
Mays and bonds should be flipped
