I was talking about the argument for 2nd place. I agree Hornsby is #1.
Oddly as a broadcaster (and he was as awful a broadcaster as he was great as a player) he hated sabermetrics and advanced stats even though though they greatly demonstrate his accomplishments as a player more than the traditional stats do.
