May 13, 200917 yr What about the great Philly Mike Schmidt? My list would have to include Rose, Gwynn, Ted Williams, Dimagio, and Willie Mays.
May 13, 200917 yr I'm a big Pete Rose fan. Tony Gwynn is a legend, but the only man on my list is the last .400 hitter, Ted Williams. During his prime he served as a fighter pilot in WWII, which a lot of players did, but also the Korean War. Imagine what his numbers would have been. (See Stan Musial.)
May 13, 200917 yr You didn't see Hornsby? I was waiting on you to say that!!! :clap::lol: Bruce Hornsby, maybe. :laugh::laugh::ylsuper:
May 13, 200917 yr I would probably add Wade Boggs to the list. I agree, for a period in the 80's, and early 90's Boggs and Mattingly were at the top of the game. If not for a shortened career, Mattingly would be on most lists.
May 13, 200917 yr I would also add Kirby Puckett, 12 seasons, 2308 hits, and a .318 lifetime avg. Imagine if he had played 18 years. He would have well over 3,000 hits.
May 13, 200917 yr 1. Ty Cobb 2. Ted Williams 3. Joe Jackson 4. Rogers Hornsby 5. Tris Speaker 6. Lou Gehrig 7. Tony Gwynn 8. Albert Pujols 9. Stan Musial 10. Babe Ruth 11. Pete Rose 12. Eddie Collins 13. Ichiro
May 13, 200917 yr How can Rose be on anyone's list? Prolific? Yes. .303 career? Shoot, take out the last several years of his Cobb pursuit and he's probably only .310. Last time I checked he was ranked about 140 in career average.
