    1. Babe Ruth

    I am a Red Sox fan, and I think some of this list is bunk, how in the hell is Mariano Rivera ahead of Yogi Berra and Derek Jeter!? Alex Rodriguez does not deserve to be anywhere near Thurman Munson and certainly not in front of Andy Pettite or Jorge Posada. Rodriguez has had like 1 good postseason and 1 ring, last time I checked Pettite and Posada had 5 rings each.
    32 shows and counting...

    Best place for him with the way he hit this spring. Give him some more time.

    Can you sum up his spring training preformance?

    Looked great behind the plate, didn't hit that well, started looking worse behind the plate. He will be fine, just really young. Give him time.

    Agreed on A-Rod to an extent, but I think Mariano definitely deserves to be that high. He's probably the greatest closer in baseball history.

    Yeah, I hear the Arod thing, but when his time is up,he is going to be so high on every Yankees leader list. Mo is high, I would have Jeter ahead since he plays 9 innings a game, every day, but I dont have a huge problem with it.

    Verlander's got some nasty stuff...but that was a bad strikeout call on the Swisher at-bat.

    And he messed up the arod one "it is high, it is far, it is.....off the wall". I thought he was going to start singing when Granderson hit his.
