What do you think of this baseball list?

The comments about Ted Williams should give it away.

Williams isn't on this list because.....it's his list of the top 20 hitters of all-time.

There's obviously some bias against the "modern" players, with Schmidt the only one worthy of the list. Or, maybe Ted just felt that the 1970s-1990s were a time of weak hitters. I'm surprised to see Mize so high on the list, but it's tough to argue with Mr. Williams, who could probably hit better in his last few years alive than I ever could in my life.

where am i?

1/2.Angel V.

1.Babe Ruth

2.Lou Gehrig

3.Jimmie Foxx

4.Rogers Hornsby

5.Joe DiMaggio

6.Ty Cobb

7.Stan Musial

8.Joe Jackson

9.Hank Aaron

10.Willie Mays

11.Hank Greenberg

12.Mickey Mantle

13.Tris Speaker

14.Al Simmons

15.Johnny Mize

16.Mel Ott

17.Harry Heilmann

18.Frank Robinson

19.Mike Schmidt

20.Ralph Kiner

I believe that any list of all-time great hitters has to include Tony Gwynn. A career .330+ hitter. Also, I don't know if a lot of the players on the list would be quite as effective in todays game. Having to face one pitcher for nine innings is a bit easier than facing 3-4 pitchers, that remain fresh, in nine innings. Although every player on this list were the dominate hitters of their eras.

In my opinion, Ted Williams would have to be on my list, probably in spot #2 or #3.

As much as it would pain me to say normally, Bonds has to be here, discounting the effect of synthetics, probably around #12. Mays should be ahead of a number of guys.

Mize, Kiner would be replaced by Rodriguez and Bonds.

Possibly adding in someone like Gwynn to the mix replacing a guy like Heilman.

Schmidt should be higher, and a case could be made for George Brett as well.

So, I would say

Ruth

Williams

Gehrig

Hornsby

Cobb

Mays

Foxx

would be my top 8

I do believe Ted Williams deserves atleast a number 3 spot. That list is completely off. Stan Musial over Hank Aaron?

What?

I'd add Ted Williams, Arod and Bonds. Actually I don't agree with the order of the list, but I do agree with the names on it. I'd put Williams #1. I'd put Bonds between Musial and Jackson and I'd put ARod between Mantle and Speaker, for now. Bonds is done, but ARod isn't. Course, Ted Williams is frozen, so I guess he could make a comeback in 50 years or so.

This is a great list, but they definitely need to add Ted Williams if it is best hitters of all time.

That is the greatest list really!!

Ted Williams is not on this list actually becaus Ted Williams wrote this!

Craig is right, that's Ted's list.

Once again $C-Note$ types without thinking. Come on, who wouldn't have Williams on a list of the top 20 hitters ever? Use you head.

Before he died, he said he would've put Tony Gwynn in his top 20, along with Bonds and Griffey.

.

That is a good list. I agree. However, if the list was in 2007, I am sure that Tony Gwynn would be on the list. Thank you dryyankee30, for bringing up Charlie Hustle.
