Well, it's complicated. There is normally a player who may or may not be the greatest but is chosen as the elder statesman. I think Koufax assumes that role.
Bonds is clearly the best but has more baggage than LaGuardia. Rose and Clemens have similar issues. Schmidt and Bench are both generally seen as the greatest players ever at their position. Henderson, Griffey Jr, Ripken Jr also could have their justifications.
