Kinda my thoughts as I read that. I would have put Ichiro in there before Ripken.

 

[jbone17]

Yeah, true that. I know I am missing some big ones lol.

 

[scotty21690]

I said I was trying lol, but 4,256? That is a great accomplishment.

 

[KOBEARODLT]

Pete Rose....top 5?!?!


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

all time HIT king, that puts you in top 5 in my book

 

[scotty21690]

Hahahah oh man people actually think he was one of the TOP FIVE greatest hitters of all time?

He had a career BA barely over .300 for christ sakes! He is a poor mans version of Ichiro. Cobb should be the all time hit king, noone can touch his career BA ever!


My list: Ruth, Williams, Cobb, Gehrig, Hornsby.

 

[ROLLTIDE4LIFE]

LOLerskates at Cal.

 

[G $MONEY$]

how come you have the prospect logo on the thread? :?

Did you ever watch him hit? and his last few years brought his average down.

Yeah cool, being a compiler does NOT make you a top 5 hitter OF ALL TIME.


Please tell me how Pete Rose is a better player than the 5 mentioned on my list. Please share, I'm dying to hear it...

Personally I'll do 1950-present since they I don't think the 1920's guys could hit a pitch today and benefited on tiny stadiums (Ruth). and nobody on here has seen any of them even play so how can you say they're that good based on stats.

1. Barry Bonds (steroids or not he was still a great hitter)
2. Willie Mays
3. Hank Aaron
4. Albert Pujols
5. Manny Ramirez

Probably forgot some guys though.
