Bonds is right - he is #1 (.4443).
Trout (.4105) is actually #11 on the list. A-rod is quite a bit further down at .380.

Good guesses but no. Hernandez had a career .384 and Yost a .394.

Manny Ramirez is correct! His career .4106 is #10.
Stephenson (.407) and Judge (.406) are #18 and #20.

I don't know if he played long enough but I also know Ferris Fain was in the Ed Yost realm of on base masters.

O'Doul is also correct! He is #9 with .4133. Votto just missed the top 10 - he is #14 with .409. Browning's .403 is #23.

Buddy Myer had a .389; Cramer a .340. Of the four remaining players, only one played exclusively in the 19th century. Another one the four I am shocked no one has guessed yet.

OH, I just looked at the qualifications that's not too many plate appearances. But I checked to confirm so I won't say. But yeah it's easy.

I'll give hints on the remaining names:
#2 - has a card in the N300 Mayo set #6 - the player Peter is referring to above #7 - the best hitting 2nd baseman of the 1890s #8 - led the NL in walks 7 times during the deadball era

Bill Joyce is correct! His .435 is #2 on the list. Dahlen does not make it with a career .358. Soto is right! He is #6 with a career .421 so far. Only #7 and #8 remain...

Always loved Eddie Stanky. A walk machine with a .410 OBP and a .268 batting average. Probably not high enough to make this list, but I bet he's top 10 in differential between average and OBP!

Any idea why Stanky didn't make it to the majors until age 27? He only played 11 seasons because of his late start but still had a career WAR of 41.5.

Roy Thomas is correct! He is #8 (.4135)
Quote:
Only one name left - #7. The first hint is in post #21 above. Another hint: 19th century collectors like me LOVE this guy. He was BORN to play ball !!!

Is the remaining guys first name somewhat appropriate, given the Hallmark holiday we had on February 14th?
