Mt. Rushmore of all time

Ted Williams has to be on there. IMO he's without question the greatest hitter of all time. If he doesn't lose almost 5 full seasons to military service he would've almost undoubtedly been the all-time leader in walks, runs, and RBI, with somewhere around 700 HRs, 700 2B, and 3500 hits (yes, I know this assumes he stayed healthy). What's even more impressive is his numbers didn't decline one iota after the league integrated- the man posted a 1.257 OPS in 1958 at 38 years old. You can make a case that he could've put up similar numbers if he were playing right now. He was just that good.

The fact that Bonds never hit 50 home runs in a season except for the year he hit 73 just cries roids and cheating IMHO
It's real hard to hit homers when you're getting intentionally walked 120 times a year.

I think you gotta have Gehrig, Gibson, Johnson, and Rivera on there, but you might get pushback on the last one.

I don’t see Hornsby on anyone’s list. Which makes sense, as he’s one of the most underrated players of all time. He might crack my top 4.

- Ruth 2. Mays. the rest is debatable.
Williams, Aaron, Cobb, Bonds, Pujols, Griffey, Trout.

With all due respect, he was intentionally walked 120 times in a year once in 2004.
