It’s the great American past-time. Arguing about who the greatest players in the sport of baseball were or are. Not really, but all joking aside, any game so loved has got to also have people’s passions ignited when it comes to naming the top 10 list of all-time playing greats.

Such passions are sure to spark debate, and such talents are sure to make the task of narrowing a field of excellent players, past and present, to a number so futile as 10. But here it is, our attempt to do the impossible…name the top 10 greatest players in baseball history.

10 Of Baseball’s Greatest Players

Babe Ruth – was he or wasn’t he? Some say he wasn’t, that he was just large for his time, but not in the sport for eternity. Still, 758 shared wins are hard to argue against. Couple that with the era of play and the lack of technology that is going into today’s players, and the Babe is still in the top 10.
Ted Williams – He’s one of the best known names-past in the game, and although his actual shared wins don’t quite match up to the Babe, his projected, adjusted wins come pretty darn close.
Lou Gehrig – one of the game’s leading names with a career marred by tragedy but marked for all-time success.
Cal Ripken, Jr – a bit more contemporary, Ripken was a stalwart player, playing well over 2600 straight games from the early 80’s to the late 1990’s.
Roger Maris – he’s the man who set the pace for decades to come in single-season home runs.
Mark McGwire – he’s the man who was anticipated to break Maris’s record, and finally did by 9 runs on the last day of the season in 1998.
Jackie Robinson – Jackie Robinson was a record-breaker in many ways, but also a breaker of barriers, opening the door for so many talented players of color to follow.
Hank Aaron – a famous great and an all-time leader in Total Bases, RBI, and Home Runs.
Wade Boggs – one of the best-known modern players with a long career of success, and one of the most well-liked players of the 1980’s.
Barry Bonds – one of Boggs’s contemporaries and one of the most talented left-handed players in the game…not unlike that talented Mr. Williams, another famous lefty.
And here it is, our humble attempt at naming out the 10 greatest players in the game of baseball. Is it definitive? Is it unarguable? No, as a list of this nature could never really be, but we do hope it does some service to the game and the great names we recall in its playing history.
