20 GREATEST Baseball Players Of All Time 

Never make a list again🔥

You don’t have Roberto Clemente that’s wrong.

about time someone gave Rickey Henderson and Ichiro the respect they deserve

You didn't include me! Yesterday I had an impressive showing for Korea's Jinju Mania team, walking and striking out against two local high school pitchers. Truly a great moment in baseball history 😂

There is a lot of people saying what about this guy or that guy. These goat 🐐 lists can be debated forever.

I love Ichiro, but how on earth could you possibly justify having him over guys like Pujols, ARod, Ripken, Hornsby etc.

You have Mike Trout over Joe D, this is absolutely crazy and this list is BOGUS

1)Babe Ruth 2)Ty Cobb 3)Lou Gehrig 4)Rogers Hornsby 5)Ted Williams 6)Jimmie Foxx 7)Stan Musial 8)Henry Aaron 9)Willie Mays 10)Cap Anson 11)Honus Wagner 12)Tris Speaker 13)Joe Dimaggio 14)Mickey Mantle 15)Joe Jackson 16)Napoleon Lajoie 17)Frank Robinson 18)Ken Griffey Jr 19)Albert Pujols 20)Ed Delahanty

My vote is for Al Kaline a 20 year veteran of consistent all around play for all of those 20 years he played.

Thank You for this excellent compilation !!! And don't worry, there's no way in Earth you're going to please everyone, no one can, lists like these will never end discussion and controversy, if anything it will only sparkle more. But I still think Roberto Clemente 🇵🇷 should have been included... 😂😆🤣😁😄

Ten years from now Shohei ⚾️htani might be #1 as the GOAT 🐐

I am sorry but the second you had pitchers on this kind of killed it for me. They deserve their own list! Also no steroid players should be allowed and believe me I love a lot of them!

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

Pedro shouldn't even be sniffing the list of top 50! You didn't have Nolan Ryan, Pete Rose, Mark McGuire, Tony Gwinn, Ernie Banks, or dozens of other player you left out, who far surpassed some players on this list.

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.

nice vid. it's always funny to me how Barry Bonds can't be credited as already having Hall of fame numbers before he doped up, yet players like Roger Clemens will be talked about as if he isn't just as contentious & known for doping as Bonds.

How can you leave Nolan Ryan off the list a 27-year career 5,000-plus strikeouts 7 no-hitters 12 one-hit games how many 18 19 strikeout games You could cut Nolan Ryan's career up and have three Hall of Fame careers

Lists are always fun, good conversations and debates ensue.

Good list. You got number 1 and 2 written in stone. Ruth was simply unexplainable; the God of the Game, to this day. And Mays was the supreme NATURAL

I think you must have a catcher on here. Johnny Bench or Yogi Berra (I lean Bench because he was such a great fielder and catcher is a fielding-first position.) Or Josh Gibson -- but including NL players opens a whole can of worms. Mike Schmidt (3B) probably also belongs. And as much as I didn't care for him and that he was one-dimensional offensively, Pete Rose. His tenacity and longevity can't be overlooked. (Frank Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Christy Mathewson, Grover Alexander other **possible** omissions.)

Great list....I would say make a way to add in Nolan Ryan, Cal Ripken, Jackie Robinson, and maybe Roberto Clemente....

My Top Ten: 1) Babe Ruth. 2) Willie Mays. 3) Ted Williams. 4)Ty Cobb. 5) Hank Aaron. 6) Rogers Hornsby. 7) Lou Gehrig. 8) Tony Gwynn. 9) Stan Musial. 10) Ken Griffey junior

As a Cadinals fan wih baseball memories since 1960 or so you included the greatest Cardinals player ever Stan Muial as number 10 which makes me happy. You also included Babe Ruth number one and Willie Mays number two which I agree on as well. My greatest Cardinals players ever that follow Musial are Bob Gibson, Albert Puhols, and Rogers Hornsby. Here is my all-time Cardinals lineup: Brock - LF Hornsby - 2B Musial - RF Puhols - 1B Edmonds - CF Boyer - 3B Molina - C Ozzie Smith -ss Bob Gibson -P My bench is Ted Simmons - c, Frankie Frisch and Red Schoendienst in the infield, Enos Slaugther and Joe Medwick in the outfield.

Rogers Hornsby Hit .400 twice. Who else has done that? He is top 10 of almost everyone’s list. Barry Bonds the cheater instead? Tony Gwynn, George Brett - both better than Griffey. Bob Gibson - record low ERA that still stands today. You have too many overrated modern players in your list.

How you ssy something bout barry but not mention anything bout Roger cheating

A few years ago, I picked an all-time 25...... 1b. Gehrig 2b. Hornsby 3b. Schmidt ss Wagner rf. Ruth lf. Williams cf. Cobb c. Bench ..... Rotation 1.Johnson 2.Mathewson 3.Plank 4.Brown 5. Alexander...... Bullpen L. Waddel (heat) L. Hubel (screw) L. Koufax ( curve) R. Joss(heat) R. Walsh (spit) R. Wilhelm (knuckle) R. Rivera (cutter) ......Bench Dh. Foxx 4th of. Mays Pr/Ph/inf Collins utility inf. Ripken c2 Rodriguez...... Now that we are at 26, who should I add?

I Think MLB HOF legend baseball ⚾🧢 Sr.willie Mayes will live to see 100

Ted Williams at number 6 is wrong. Top 3

I would have Mays 1 and Ruth 2 because of his all around talent.

Bonds 7th? Please...

esta perfecto muchas gracias.

Baseball is the most subjective when it comes to the greatest of all time

Bonds no before steroids a good HOF player.

No Yogi Berra or Al Kaline

These lists, while fun to argue about, are pretty meaningless. First off, pitchers are really their own thing: you can't compare them to batsmen, and the contribution they make to the team is entirely different. Secondly, you really can't compare players across ages with any kind of validity. Best you can do is pick who were the most dominant players from the different eras. So a guy like Cobb should rank higher, for example, than Aaron, because he was clearly better than anyone else around at the time. Aaron had guys like Mays, Mantle, and Robinson around compiling similar records. But in the end, it's just opinions. BTW, Cobb wasnt the slathering racist monster of legend, not did he sharpen his spikes. The dumb lies shouldn't he endlessly repeated. He was just a really smart and aggressive player, and he was highly respected by his competitors.

George Herman Ruth the Babe was a great hitter and pitcher could do it all👍👍👍👍👍👍

My choice starting lineup Jonny Bench- catcher Pete Rose - third base Joe Morgan- second base Ken Griffey jr.- center field Barry Larkin- shortstop Rickey Henderson- left field Barry Bonds- right field Babe Ruth- pitcher

Nice job! But, you left Mike Schmidt, the greatest third baseman of all time off the list.

Arron was better than mays Mays played in a small ball park mantle played in a larger park 43 per cny larger than candlestick .😅

Where is nolan ryan???

No Albert Pujols? What a joke.

Al kaline, Clemente, Albert, Mathewson, etc

20 Players is too short when having both pitcher and regular players. Trout is too high and shouldn't be included he has way too many years to go still IMO.

Bonds was a Hall of Famer before steroids.

Your list is null and void. Cheaters are nothing but cheaters.

Anyone that claims they are the greatest gets excluded from consideration. So eliminate Mays.

You've got a great list, but there are others who deserve to be there like Nolan Ryan!!!

Did I miss Nolan Ryan and Bob Gibson?!?

This the weirdest list i ever heard of....lol

Why you gotta show that Rajai Davis home run in the beginning. It still makes my stomach drop

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.

Nolan Ryan had the MOST Noah offers in Baseball but he could not crack the list???

Sandy Koufax and Roberto Clemente.

NO CHEATERS Will Ever be a great ball player, period

The list is laughable has alot of great players butl leaves many off of it

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.

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.

No Frank Robinson or Roberto Clemente? This is sooo wrong!

I would put Griffey if he didn't have all those injuries in the top 5. Jr over 600 homers and tremendous center fielder. He was the best in my time after 1960

Well no Clemente, u know what world we live in. Nuff said .

Bonds is not eligible. If you took in consideration of performance while playing for a sub par team most of his career you would have listed Ernie Banks. Childhood hero.

Your list is null and void for several reasons. You left off Satchel Paige. You left off Nolan Ryan. You left off Cy Young. You included a current player.

cheaters should not be on the list

No Koufax?

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😅😭

Lou Gehrig , Done

I didn't get the comment during the Honus Wagner segment, when u said he had a .328 batting avg. despite playing in the challenging "deadball" era. While it was more difficult to hit homeruns during that era, it was obviously much easier to hit the ball for average. Just look back at the stats from the most succesful players durimg thst era. I mean multiple people would regularly hit over .400 during the same season. The league batting average back then was crazy high, and much higher then the "live ball" era.

Yes were Is albert Pujols

Mariano Rivera? Derek Jeter? Pete Rose? Wade Boggs?

Ishiro does not belong on this list and neither does Henderson. Jimmy Fox does and Grover Alexander should be on it.

Why is Albert Pujols not here

Cobb is number ONE period.

Where is Aaron's black ink in the bb ency??? If you don't understand, look it up.

Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds don't belong on this list. Josh Gibson, Oscar Charleston and Smokey Joe Williams do. Williams played in an exhibition against major league stars. He went head to head against HOF pitcher Walter Johnson and won.

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 .

This list is missing sooo many guys & has guys who shouldnt be on here.

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.

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.

No Sandy Koufax? Can't take your list seriously.

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.

frank robinson

No Pete Rose is crazy…

No frank Robinson FOH

Bonds?

Bob Gibson ???

Did I miss Mantle

How is it possible to have a top 20 list without the greatest catcher in baseball history, Johnny Bench? Bench is not only a top 20 he’s in the top ten. I’m also not impressed with three of the biggest cheaters in baseball history, Bonds, Clemons and spit ball Maddox are on this list. Also, having a grad degree in human biology myself anyone who thinks using anabolic steroids and HGH is controversial in regard to the performance gains just simply doesn’t know what they are talking about. That boat sailed a long time ago and there is absolutely solid undisputed scientific evidence that these PED’s do give baseball players substantial advantages.

Nolan Ryan ????!???

The greatest leadoff hitter of all time at 20? Im done.

Idec about the rest of the list but if bonds isn’t 1 u just simply haven’t looked at baseball stats regardless of steroids they don’t teach u how to hit a ball and get over 2000 walks

This is an opinion piece. A big majority of the commenters needed to keep the useless opinions to them selves.

No albert

Wheres rose bench banks clemente schmidt n ryan and even reggie heck he had a candy bar named after him

Williams far too low at 6-if not for lost seasons to Military would have hit 700 home runs

Barry Bonds- "alleged steroids user"? nothing alleged, he was a PED user without any doubt

No baseball person says "point two one one bating average." it's "two eleven"

Without Koufax, this list is crap!

Yogi and Rivari

Bonds the Goat

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.
