It is hard to believe it happened at all, isn’t it. Ruth was very special.

That’s a joke, right? The guy’s an error machine.

Dark days for Os fans against Pittsburgh... but glorious baseball.

Mays had over 4000 hits, over 600 home runs, over 300 stolen bases. And he was the most dominate center fielder of all time (look at the youtube video of his catches). Plus he was a nice guy. Like I said, Mays was the best all around player of all time.

Roberto Clemente was my second place. His arm out in right field was amazing. One of the most exciting things in baseball was watching Clemente throw out guys at third and Home. He did it with ease.

Yep and to the person writing about Addison Russell also. This was truly the year of the Short-Stop. Next ten years should be fun to watch these young-uns.

Its not called bias. Its called performance.
Jeter lifetime BA: .310
Ripken lifetime BA: .276
Ripken was the iron man, but that doesn’t make him necessarily the better player. Its very close, but I wouldn’t attribute it to bias. And who won more World Series Championships? Jeter by a mile.
Good points. Thank you. :)

Those Robin Yount numbers you posted are very wrong. Look it up.

JAWS rates Trammell ahead of Jeter. Jeter has the advantage of multiple World Series Championships, and being mostly respected even by Yankee-haters.
Old-timers like Arky Vaughn and Luke Appling usually get short-changed in these kind of lists.

Cal Ripken had longevity. Otherwise, he was just your average player.

The game does best when there are great shortstops playing. Concepción was the one I watched as a kid, I’ve since liked watching Nomar Garciaparra with the Red Sox and Cal Ripken,Jr. Kept an eye on the Bluejays this year because of Tulowitzki.
