    Ruth, Cobb, Joe Jackson if he didn't get black listed, and if he was allowed to play in the MLB Josh Gibson.

    I vote for the players I've seen play and *YAZ* comes to mind coming from a Red Sox fan.

    For players I never saw play Satchel Page/Josh Gibson if they were given a chance to play against other major leaguers.

    ever, forever ever? :)(that's from the Outkast song)

    I'm going with modern day players and I have to vote for my baby, Derek Sanderson Jeter. (yeah, I know I'm going to get yelled at)

    It's hard to argue with the Babe though.

    I'd say Ty Cobb was the best all-around player ever. And best pure hitter.

    One could make arguments for Honus Wagner and Babe Ruth as well.

    ...and Willie Mays... but I believe the above 3 to be better.
    Stone Gossard...riffmeister extraordinaire!

    The Babe. For many reasons, but mostly because he could have been a great pitcher as well as the great slugger he was.

    I would also consider:
    Willie Mays
    Hank Aaron
    Walter Johnson
    Ted Williams
    Cy Young (won 20 games 15 times 30 - 5 times)
    Christy Mathewson (won 20 games 13 times 30 - 4 times)
    Lou Gehrig
    Stan Musial
    Joe Dimaggio
    Ty Cobb
    Roberto Clemente
    Mickey Mantle


    And someday soon... Alex Rodriguez

    Griffey Jr.

    Had he been healthy his whole career, he would have 900 home runs. his swing still rules, and younger he could play the entire outfield by himself.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    Exactly, the Babe was the best ever.
