When considering who should be on this list, I came up with most of the same players. My list included Sandy Koufax, Johnny Bench, and Mike Schmidt, and I wouldn't put Ruth ahead of Mays.
It still takes great hand ,eye coordination the great cheater as some of u call them still did what they did I should be applauded for their accomplishments
Negro League players are missing (except for Mays and Aaron, who started in the NNLs) So, some of the greatest are missing (maybe even THE greatest- except for Ruth, of course!)- This list is missing, at least, Oscar Charleston, Paige, Pop Lloyd, and Josh Gibson, who were all among the greatest! ...And Cool Papa Bell! Satchel Paige had a sub-3 ERA in the Majors- after his rookie season when he was over 50 years old. In the negro leagues (which were probably as good as the majors in his time), over the years he threw a TON of no-hitters. Not only 7 like Nolan Ryan, not 10, or 15... But 100! (Well, he did pitch around 120 games each year, so he had the opportunity to do so. 100 is still hard to believe, but even if he had one fifth as many... And: Paige would pull a stunt when a game was on the line by waving the outfielders to leave the field- and would proceed to strike out the side... He had a winning record against major league all star touring teams in the off season, too. When Honus Wagner was asked what he thought about Pop Lloyd being called 'the black Honus Wagner', he said 'I'd be honored to be called the white Pop Lloyd!' And, Re: 'Cool Papa's Bell'... A famous baseball writer once said that 'He is so fast, he makes Ty Cobb look like a runner with a handicap!' Josh Gibson had over 800 home runs against MLB quality pitchers- and he died in his prime! And Charleston? He is most like Babe Ruth. (Ruth is still #1, of course!) Also missing from this list is #23.
Honus Wagner at number 12? WHAT!? He is top-five, easily. Bill James had him at number TWO. His 1908 season was the best in history- he league in EVERY SINGLE offensive category except home runs- Hits, walks, steals, singles, doubles, triples, average, slugging, OBP, RBI, etc. (and this was in the dead ball era) AND, he was far and away the best shortstop in the game... Leading in put-outs, double plays, errors, etc. ...And that season wasn't much better than his average seasons- he played for 15+ years, and was productive in all of them. ...12th? C'mon.
Two known cheaters on the list: Clemons and Bonds. Listing Mantle and Mike (I can't stay on the field) Trout ahead of DiMaggio is beyond ridiculous. Trout, Clemons and Bonds should be off, replaced by Pete Rose, Roberto Clemente and Tom Seaver.
Pete Rose and Roberto Clemente in place of Rickey Henderson and Ichiro Suzuki . Pete and Ty Cobb probably helped their teams win more games than anyone because they had the most hits . Base hits win ballgames , especially singles . Pete had just as much power as Aaron , as he hit more doubles and triples than Hank . Rickey was one of the most selfish non - team players as he would attempt to steal bases if the Oakland A's were winning or losing by 9 runs just to set stolen base records . That isn't baseball . Rickey's runs scored and stolen bases total should have an asterisk next to them .
Ichiro, Mike Trout, Ricky Henderson, Mantle, Lou Gherig too high; Ted Williams, Barry Bonds too low. Ichiro and Mike Trout are both not top 50 all time. Also, where the hell is Nolan Ryan.
Crazy how a player like Ty Cobb is in but players these days get sooooo scrutinized for way less nasty behavior and actions….i see what baseball be doing though😅😭
Stan the man was the best switch hitter. A 331 average from the right side and 331 from the left. That is the best ever. He sustained that average over 22 years. No slack in his game.
Overall, it's a good list. But lets talk #8 and #7? Mantle was broken down by time he turned 33 sure. But Bonds and his "incredible statistics" are insanely inflated AFTER age 35. Like the 268 HRs....AFTER 35. His OPS being .979 through 35, or prior to 2001...which was 1.298 from ages 36 through 42. Or his batting average being .289 through 35 and .334 after roids. Sorry, his "alleged steroid use" as stated in this video. Bonds was great before steroids. But he was no Mickey Mantle.
I don't agree with a list that includes Pedro Martinez and doesn't include Mike Schmidt. I also recognize that Negro League players are very difficult to evaluate relative to MLB players but I can't imagine a list like this not including Josh Gibson.
Last year the cardinals had the 4th highest average attendance behind all of the rich teams AND they had a losing season lmao. You prob don't know anything about baseball and you just sat on your phone the entire game
@@gabrielcitrowske8897 Those attendance numbers are highly inflate. When the Phillies played there last season, it was pretty empty and the attendance numbers said it was double that.
This list is fucked. If you brought Babe Ruth, who was 6’2”, 215 lbs into the modern game, he’d probably be sent down in the first week to AAA, and then eventually, AA. For starters, he’d be small compared to a lot of guys now. Second, he hit most of his carer against two pitch types, with the Slider only appearing in the 30’s. You send someone like Ohtani, who he is compared to a ton, back to 1927, and he’d hit over 100 home runs, plus strike out 400 batters. He has mastery of 6 pitch types, working on a 7th. Plus, Ohtani can throw over 100 mph, when he wants to, as shown by the fact he regularly does so when runners are on 3rd, just to let them know they won’t beat his speed. You didn’t even put Ohtani on this list, and a lot of people would tell you he has an argument as the GOAT, because no one has done what he’s done, at his level. Then, Bonds is on this list. If you are going to include Bonds, technically, he should be number 1. His 2001-2004 seasons make him number one, and it isn’t even fucking close. Most disqualify him based on the use of the juice, but almost anyone that knows about baseball would tell you, if you’re going to include him, he goes above Ruth.
