As one who met Nick Adenhart when he played in the minors, I can say he was a nice guy, but I can't see him being in the top 10 of any list of players. There is a memorial to him on the Center Field wall at the ballpark in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

I find it very odd that Bonds made the list while Mays and Aaron did not.

What about Curt Flood and Andy Messersmith Mike Marshall, some of the most turn points in baseball

Messersmith is a great one. You might say he changed the game more than anyone else.

Why has Jackie Robinson not been name......the most influential player ever.....even bigger than Ruth.
Robinson
Ruth
Clemente
Those three are the top of the heap in my opinion......

first off, the joke was that any AI sucks... and not accurate... only reason I put up Nick Adenhart.. to emphasize that the list, although I tried to make it look good was based on nothing but my own opinion...

Bonds is up there because he was the face of the steroid era.. and single handedly almost destroyed baseball IMO... I am still convinced that if Bonds did not break Aaron's HR record, and destroy McGwire's season record, that we would be looking at steroids a very different way in baseball...

you can sure make the argument.. and you wouldn't be wrong, as there is really no correct answer... but I think I would stick with Ruth at number one... really like my top 8... but I don't care if the order is changed up a little...

Ruth is thee most iconic and will never be surpassed,but JR broke that color barrier,that very very few peoplde at that time wanted to see.....
The adversity he endured,its surprising he actually made a career out of playing.........especially being better than alot of white folk.

Jmo tho

No doubt. Robinson is definitely either one or 2. But I guess we would agree to disagree about where in the top 2.

Ironically enough when Ruth was coming up people would give him problems too because they thought he shared too much blood with Africans. In fact one of his original nicknames was N-word Lips.


Definitely not the same as what Robinson had to go through. But it is interesting to note that Ruth went through some of that too.

As important and as successful as Jackie Robinson was, if it was not him it would have been someone else... because breaking the color barrier was only a matter of time. But if he had washed out it might have pushed that back few years, so there's a legit argument for him being #1, but I still say it's Ruth. He was a unique talent that changed the game.

Right. Babe Ruth basically created the home run. Sure it existed as a thing before him. But pre ruthian baseball players did not aim for the home run. Teams had to adapt to Ruth baseball by getting home run hitters for themselves.

Not to mention Ruth helped create the Yankees. The biggest and most successful franchise in baseball!!

An odd fact about Jackie Robinson:

Baseball was the sport he excelled at the least in college.

He was a national champion long jumper. And led the NCAA in punt return average, twice. But only hit .097 the one season he played shortstop for UCLA.

He also was just the 15th HOFer to have played college baseball when he got into Cooperstown.

Odd fact about me: had the same nickname as Babe Ruth on the school bus. Kids are mean sometimes.

OK, and I agree.
To me, Hank has the record. I'd have liked to see Josh Gibson play MLB. What a story it could have been.

Me too. It was brutal. I can't even remember how many times I came home crying "mom, why do all the kids call me The Sultan of Swat?".
