Hardnose asked:


I 'the VE that discuss this subject with my friend very intensly, when Derek Jeter' s career is over he will be one of the top 10 best all around players of all time? My answer is yes. Please take into consideration that I'm saying the top 10 INTERAMENT AND AROUND for the best players. That means in every aspect of the game, hit sistemante, performance clutch, performance serial world /-off, everything.

The Ball Coach asked:

Position players only, too tough to mix pitchers into this argument! Any era, and by any criteria you deem them worthy of the top 10. Mine goes like this:
1) Babe Ruth
2) Ted Williams
3) Willie Mays
4) Hank Aaron
5) Ty Cobb
6) Honus Wagner
7) Joe DiMaggio Mickey Mantle
9) Frank Robinson
10) Lou Gehrig

I didn’t put anyone still playing on this list, as I’ll wait for the chips to fall. Honorable mention: Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Mike Schmidt, Jimmie Foxx.
I like how you put 5 spaces between Babe and anybody else! But I have a few “arguments” with your post. Isn’t it something to applaud that DiMaggio hung it up at the top of his game? I would equate that with Barry Sanders in football. And with Pete Rose, singles and doubles will win you a lot of games. Ichiro is one of the best in baseball today, and he has no power.
I know that what Jackie Robinson did was very important to baseball, but I can’t imagine how anyone could put him in the top 10. Eddie Collins, Joe Morgan and Rogers Hornsby were all better second basemen.
Johnny boy must be smoking crack. 6-10 are stupid. Are you nuts? How anybody can put somebody other than Ruth at number 1 is mindblowing.
