Pete Rose has no place on a list without Mays and Aaron, but the Babe is #1 for me.

While I'd like to argue it was Teddy Williams, I can't. Ruth's final 500+ HRs we him extending his own record. That is absolute domination. He could hit... and for average... people don't realize he's stolen home 10times... he could pitch... Yeah, he beefed up on hot dogs and such, but ... still the best of all time.

He set the standard (as a "all out" player) |

Loved the line in "Cobb" where he's at some Las Vegas night club and they call him up to the stage and the entertainer says, basically, "Mr. Cobb, you hit like .350 for your career.... but how do you think you you'd hit against today's hitters?"
"Probably around .290" ".290? Like I said, you hit over .350 for your career" "Yeah, but I'm 65 years old." ![]() DOn't know if that ever really happened, but it's a great line. |

I bought this 2 days ago. He is a hero of mine, one of the GREATEST, because of his science of the sport and his heroism in war......to him it didn't matter what he did in uniform (military), it is what he did for baseball..... |

I call my fantasy team "Ted Williams' Head"

I grew up in Ohio. I saw Pete play in Riverfront.
He was a great player, but to even try to put him in the top 10 of all time is just homerism. |
