Top 5:
Gehrig
Foxx
Brouthers
Pujols
Bagwell??
Jeff Bagwell was better than: Greenberg, Frank Thomas, Jim Thome, McCovey, Bill Terry, Johnny Mize, Eddie Murray, Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire, Cap Anson? Or mostly-1B like Killebrew, Banks, Miggy, or Carew? Looks to me like he's barely in the top-5
of his own era, and that's only if you like him over McGwire and don't count Miggy.
Sorry, he's in the marginal-HOF tier, with Perez, Cepeda, Mattingly, and Hodges.
