My top 5, including the guys that no one's father has seen play:
Pujols (if he gets the job)
Ty Cobb
Ted Williams
Frank Robinson
Walter Johnson

You must have missed his 10 seasons in Anaheim when he hit .256/.311/.447 OPS+ 106 and collected 240 million dollars to give the Angels 12.5 WAR. I preferred the eras when players played to win instead of to get a huge contract and then coast for the rest of their career.
