Barry Bonds is not a choice here ?
Barry Bonds (1986-present) Position: Leftfielder Greatest Moment: Home run No. 71, breaking Mark McGwire's single season record. Why he's the greatest: Bonds has already passed his godfather Mays on the all-time home run leader list. Bonds is approaching 700 homers and the totals that Ruth and Aaron posted. Doping controversy aside, Bonds is certain to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He's won six NL MVP awards. Despite his awesome career home run total, he's only led the NL in homers twice. In 2002, he led the league in hitting with an average of .370. The only thing missing for Bonds is a World Series championship ring. He did have his chance as the San Francisco Giants made it to the Series in 2002; however, they lost to the Anaheim Angels in seven games. Even without the all-time home run record, Bonds was an easy choice for the top spot on this list. Love him or hate him, you have to admit he's the game's most electrifying player and feared hitter. So Ted Williams comes in as the second choice... Ted Williams (1939-1960) Position: Leftfielder Greatest Moment: Hitting home run No. 500 against the Cleveland Indians on June 17, 1960. Why he's one of the greatest: Many consider Williams the greatest hitter in the modern era. He was a two-time winner of the Triple Crown and AL MVP. He batted .406 in 1941; that contributed to his lifetime batting average of .344. The 17-time All-Star won six batting championships. Williams wasn't just a good contact hitter; he had impressive power, blasting 521 career home runs. PLAY BALL !  /

BATTER UP ! Greatest isn't defined by stats alone. The great players are the ones who can do it all--hit, defend, steal bases. Numbers on paper say a lot, but the truly great ones can do it all. From this list, I pick Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. 
Babe Ruth was a tempting choice, but best I remember his power was too great to be a well-rounded player. |

I was never one of them but i love the game And i come from a long line of baseball players as well I pitched {lefty} played a lot of right field {it's important you know} lol and a little 2nd base I was always a clean up hitter which won me an MIP and an MVP one year ...3 trophies ! {Non pro of course} Man was my Dad and Grandpa proud My brother had a chance to go and play for the Giants and turned them down ! {Quack} Me and my grandpa used to listen to the Giants play on a pocket radio if we couldn't see the games on TV I like the A's and the Padres as well...

I hear you Man O it is a shame much like Lance Armstrong
That these great athletes are being exposed for their steroid abuse But i do have to wonder if they have ALWAYS been roid junkies Or if they started using them to try and extend the greatness they had already achieved ? Age is a ***** as we both know And i like to think they were BOTH great for the entertainment and achievements they have acomplished...
