oh and I dont know about Willie Mays at 7th? lol

Halu Sination:
The problem with Ichiro is that the argument is way too dependent on the "what ifs." I'm sure if he came to the MLB at a younger age he still would have put up dominant numbers during the years, but the bottom line is that you can't just make assumptions when talking about accomplishments (which is what really matters when making greatest of all-time lists).

It's just like how people say Arvydas Sabonis would have been a Top 10 center of all-time if his country allowed him to come to the NBA when he got drafted. Instead, he doesn't get to come to the NBA until the age of 31 and we're all left speculating what could have happened.

S P I C E:
Hack knows a ton of sports and deserves propz for this list but Mays has to be top 3.  The only player I ever hear people put above him is Ruth and a lot of people have Mays at #1.

you gon always be my latin queen bitch:
what does the * mean besides them bein caught or anything to do wit roids?
(they still get in right?)

Whatever, he also put Williams and Gehrig above Cobb. I don't think people seem to realize how huge Cobb would be today if he simply shut his mouth about his opinions and kept his hands to himself. The only question is whether he'd hit HRs in the live ball era, but more of that has to do with Cobb wanting to swing for the fences. The guy was a baserunner and a placement hitter. The famous story is In 1925 when he was 38 years old he tod a reporter that any top hitter could hit homeruns. This was durring a series against the Yanks. He told the reporter that he was going to swing for the fences today. In game 1 he went 6 or 6 with 3 HRs, a double and 2 singles. The next day another 2 HRs. Then he went back to his normal batting stance and started hitting small ball again.

Does this mean he'd have the HR record? No, but he'd have had a lot more than 100 career homeruns if he wanted them.
