I don't know the answer. All I can say for sure is that the best player I've ever watched play was Willie Mays.

Don't forget how far away the fences were in Ruth's era, and he still managed to get to 714 even with all of the 450+ foot fences and essentially losing five years of hitting due to being a Hall-of-Fame worthy pitcher! There were years when he out-homered most or all other teams! Ruth was also a crack fielder and decent runner, at least according to the Babe Ruth candy cards that were produced.
It isn't close enough for me to go with anyone else, but I like the case for Willie Mays being second place. |

I would tend to agree with what most people are saying here. Ruth is #1, Mays is definitely #2, and in my opinion, Williams is #3.
Third on the list is where the debate comes in, since we are mostly in agreement with Ruth and Mays at 1 and 2. I like Williams at 3, but Gehrig, Musial, Bonds, Aaron, and Cobb all have an argument here. Pitchers would be a fun 1,2,3 debate as well. Mine would likely be: 1. Cy Young 2. Walter Johnson 3. (I'm going to get opposition here, but...) Nolan Ryan. Wild and unpredictable, but dominant on a level that is almost alien to us mere humans.

On the Pitchers I would have to think more on it but I would not put Nolan Ryan in the top 5. And you said the Reason why Wild and Unpredictable.

I am not disagreeing and his political views were bad and he did a lot to cause and continue segregation in the sport but many consider him the greatest pre 1900 era ball player and the first player with over 3000 hits and he was popular and help transform the game.
And since that era of ball is slightly different from others era So I was just trying to include the time.
