Willie Mays Hays was better.No Willie Mays? Come on, man!
Jesus f@ck people. Not one mention of Ricky Henderson yet?
Haha ..Jesus f@ck people. Not one mention of Ricky Henderson yet?
So true. I feel bad that I didn't appreciate him enough when he was playing.Ichiro much higher on this list than many might think
You can’t even be seriousJesus f@ck people. Not one mention of Ricky Henderson yet?
You can’t even be serious
While I don’t put Henderson top 5, if you played 22 years and scored 100 runs each season, you’d still be short of Henderson by 95 runs.. insaneI don't have him top 5, but I can see some putting him there. You obviously don't know his numbers, because they are pretty insane. Nobody will come come close to his stolen base record.
It is impossible. It’s that way in every sport because you have players playing in completely different times and competitions. Look at Lebron the way he cry’s to officials could you imagine him playing against the Bad boys of Detroit. They would have had him in tears. Who knows what his game would have been like.Impossible to narrow it to 5! I can't really get invested in guys that didn't play in my lifetime, so I'd be more into listing guys in the last 25-30 years. Junior Griffey, Bonds, Jeter, Trout, Maddux, Big Unit, Pujols.... can't list A-Rod, just can't.

most hits all timeRose top 5?
Is this serious?!
Ricky was my favorite player growing up - but if people are going to withhold votes for Bonds and McGwire for a particular reason … Ricky was right in the thick of it with Jose and Mark in Oakland.Jesus f@ck people. Not one mention of Ricky Henderson yet?
That era of pre and post WWII baseball is fascinating. If I had a time machine I'd go back and attend Williams' pro debut in 1939. It was at Yankees stadium and there were 12 current or future Hall of Famers there. 11 in the game and Babe Ruth watching. Williams batted .345 with 62 homers in 327 games vs the Yankees.I always like to mention Bob Feller and Ted Williams in these discussions, because of their military service. Williams basically lost five seasons of baseball serving in both WWII and the Korean War. Feller lost three seasons during WWII, and they were right in his elite prime years. If you account for those lost seasons, the numbers these two put up are astounding.
Of course a lot of players served in the military back in the day, but Williams and Feller stand out among them.
There will be no Big Mac slander here 😭No Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire? 🤣😏
A tough question. I'll go with these four position players and one pitcher:I suggested Pete Rose as potentially one.

Gibson was phenomenal. The things he did will never be repeated.Bob Gibson should probably be in the discussion since they lowered the mound because of him.
Seriously? He was the greatest fan draw in baseball history - by far - and revolutionized the game. He was the greatest player in baseball history and there should be absolutely no debateWhy is babe Ruth in this? You all cry about the championships won by Yale and Minnesota from the 1940s and before that they don't matter, what makes the difference with him? He had a diet of whiskey and hot dogs, and had pitchers throwing 84MPH fastballs to him.

Wasn’t Koufax even better?Gibson was phenomenal. The things he did will never be repeated.
