			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.

 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.

|   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.

 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 !!!
