Hornsby, but he was an ass. His defense wasn't as great as some of the others, but what a bat. Nap second, best all-around.

 

[elmalo]

Joe Morgan, followed by Roberto Alomar.

 

[jbhofmann]

Bill James says Joe Morgan. Joe Morgan says Hornsby.

How is Sandberg not on this list?
Sandberg is better than Joe Morgan!

Vote him in with other. There is only 9 available slots, so players will certainly be omitted.

I voted for him, I think he should have been on the list before Biggio and Alomar

Neither of those three were going to win the poll anyways, so it really doesn't matter.

True, I just found it strange to have a list of all time second basemen without Sandberg on it. That's me being a homer though.

I think you gotta put Nap at first, but Hornsby and Collins close behind. Nap rivaled Cobb in a lot of categories during their time, he was very close to as good as CObb

 

[Mozzie22]

Don't get the debate on this one, Hornsby... and it isn't even close.

 

[scotty216brs]

As much as I would love to give a vote for Gehringer, I have to vote for Hornsby (with Collins not too far behind). Defensively I would vote for my man, Mr. Doerr though.

Hornsby just too damn good with the bat. He led the league in a ridiculous amount of hitting categories when he was playing.

 

[nosterbor]

Jackie Robinson? Seriously! Sandberg not on your list is a joke. Anyway, Hornsby everyone else is far behind. Sandberg would be 2nd.

 

[jbhofmann]

I see at least ten people realize that Morgan was something more than just a Sunday Night Baseball analyst.

I can't see the poll or choices. It's not showing up on my iPhone. Anyone else having that problem?

I do see Sportscartheory's enormous sig though. Seriously man, do you really need all of those quotes and four album covers in your sig? It's really long on my iPhone compared to other sigs.

I'm on a computer. I have no idea what it looks like on an app. I have never had a complaint in all the time I have been here. It's small compared to many others' here.

......Jeff Kent was better than Sandberg and he's not on the list either....I voted Hornsby & Robinson

That's saying something considering the first HOF vote gave Cobb the most votes. If you go back in time, and look at what the current people of the day thought of the players then, Cobb was considered the best. It wasn't until later when the players were retired that Ruth started growing as a legend. Of course Ruth's legend grew with the growth of HR love.
