Johnson is arguably the greatest pitcher in the history of the game. No one is CLEARLY better than him. There are AT LEAST 2 hitters better than Mantle (imho) with another handful arguably better than him.

This one is pretty clear, imho.

 

[Clayton]

Not much consistency with this list. Aaron is the great accumulator but he has become an outlier especially with Mantle skipping over other players who have accumulated more.

I have been saying that since Williams at 3...

its what happens when you do a poll... polls will never show consistency, because it is simply majority rules... individuals will always be able to make better lists...

the more work put into it by the individual the better the list will be...

but the biggest problem is that the already created statistics don't compare generations well at all...

It's still fun though. I hope we don't stop til way past top 10. I can't wait for the Raul Ibanez v Chris Chambliss debates in a year or 2.

Where are all the Senators' homers to balance this out?

Notice to all the homer Yankee fans--stop dming me and offering me SportsHoopla cash to change my vote. I don't even know what that is....
