No cheating, this is to test your knowledge.?
IMHO.Babe Ruth. The guy went from being an ACE pitcher into becoming the king of Home Runs in the same career! I don't think anyone else has accomplished THAT.And he did it WITHOUT STEROIDS.

What does a coach look for to distinguish his starting outfielders?
I agree with you about Clemente. He didn't really have many records, but Willie Mays and Hank Aaron both had said Clemente was the greatest player of their time. Coming from two of the greatest ever, that says something.Can i watch the yankees online for free?
So, no matter how many people respond with Ruth or Williams or Cobb or Mays, you're going to give the best answer to whomever toadies up and proclaims CLEMENTE ES MUY GRANDE!! because, from the description, that's the point of this question.Feh. Joe Schlabotnik.
There's a significant difference between "best", because we have historical records to review and compare, and "favorite", which is totally subjective and can be as rational or inane as one wants.

What is this... the 199th or 200th time this question has come up? You will get the same answer from me that the other's got... George Herman "Babe" Ruth.The Sulton of Swat
The King of Clout
The Mighty Bambino
The Babe
As a pitcher his record was 93-44 with a 2.28 ERA. Also was 3-0 in World Series competition.
As a full time outfielder his .342 lifetime batting average is in the top 10. His combined stats are far better than anyone that has played Major League baseball.
It's fine that you have a favorite, everyone does. But, and nothing against Roberto, but not the all-time greatest.
What is that cylindral thing that's wrapped around a baseball bat when a batter is on deck?

Babe Ruth.Why is cricket a better sport than baseball?
Records and awards matter but breaking the color barrier in the MLB is more important. Hank Aaron didn't just set records and get awards. He made it possible for african americans to play baseball. If it weren't for him, we would never know about past time greats like Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, or Ricky Henderson. We wouldn't know about today's greats like Dontelle Willis, Barry Bonds, or Alfonsooooooooooo Soooooooorianoooooooooooo!!!...Which player has hit the most triples in MLB history?
Most dominant in his era ... Babe Ruth without a doubtBarry Bonds (love him or hate him - cheater or not cheater) has been the closest thing to RUTH-DOMINANT the past 8 years
If I had to chose one player to start a franchise with, one player to build a team around - it would be WILLIE MAYS
He did everything (Hit for average, Hit for Power, Run, Catch, Throw) at such a high level he could impact the game in so many different ways from Babe Ruth, or Barry Bonds
In the American League, can a pitcher pinch hit for the DH, if he is pitching in the other half?
I don't know that you can't pick any one player. The game has gone through many changes in the past hundred plus years. The best way to answer would be to say that Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were the best of their era. Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams were the best during their era. Willie May, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente and Mickey Mantle were the best during their era. Mike Schmidt, Carl Yastrzemski and Reggie Jackson during their era. Cal Ripken Jr. and Don Mattingly during the '80's & '90's. From the mid '90's through today we have to consider A-Rod and Albert Pojuls as the top two players. Very difficult question to answer.Dodgers placed Jason Schmidt on the DL and...?
All you guys are wrong. The best baseball player ever was Ricky Henderson. He revolutionized the way that baseball was played and set the standard for leadoff hitters for the rest of time. Mix of speed, power, and the ability for average. Career record holder for runs scored and stolen bases. Used to hold it for walks until Bonds got intentionally walked hundreds of times. He was the man, and the best of all time.Roberto Clemente. It was so fun to watch him in right field. They made the wall in right 21 feet in PNC Park in honor of his number. And just look at the way he died. He died from a plane crash trying to help people with food. What a great player and a class act.
Where can i find the Randall Simon video where he clocks the hot dogs in Milwawukee?

I heard some people say Ortiz is only goo cause Manny hits behind him?
Tough question but the answer is really easy for it can be only one answer and with out a doubt the greatest hitter of all times..hit for power with 714 home runs..and not a bad pitcher early on.completely changed the game for ever and also you must remember that it took Hank Aaron almost 4000! more turns at bat to break his record.one of the most recognized names that even some one not familiar with baseball will know..often mistaken for a candy bar(actually name for President Cleveland baby girl born in the White House)....all of the players named so far were great but say their names to the "know-nothing about baseball person" and you will miss on several occasions...but mention the name .."BABE RUTH" and you will probably hit ten out of ten that will connect him to baseball...BABE RUTH is the only answer to this question..without him it would not be what it is today in baseball..give him those extra 4000 turns at bat at his pace (11+ per bat) and he would have finished with over 1100..and that does not take into account this pitching stint....BABE RUTH!...WHO ELSE!How much is this baseball card worth?
I'll answer this again just like I answered last time. There is no best player of all time. Too many great players over the years and not just in Baseball but every other sport.What do you thinks gonna happen to Joe Torre??
Babe Ruth. People forget that when he was with the Red Sox, he was one of the pitchers in the game. He was basically a pitcher for the first 5 years of his career. Had he been an everyday outfield for those 5 years, he would have hit at least 800 probably close to 850 home runs.Where did Barry Bonds hit homerun number 71?
I think that Babe Ruth is the best baseball batter ever to play!MLB Fans I need your vote on the steroid issue?
