1. Joe D
2. Griffey
3. Hank Aaron

Griffey is on pace to be the best of all time, Joe D with his 56 game hit streak does it for me.

I don't know what the Babe could do against Randy Johnson or Pedro. He was, undoubtedly the best player of his time.

Who said Hank Aaron shouldn't be in the top 3? Hank Aaron is the all time leader in HRs and RBIs. plus total bases. Only Ruith and Mays have come within 100 HRs of Aaron. And a lot of babe's HRs were balls that BOUNCED out of the park. (Those used to be HR's back then). Aaron is the all time leader in two major categorie. Top 3 - hell yeah.

I knew someone would object to Nolan Ryan. But with 5700 K's and 300 wins and a ridiculous SEVEN no-hitters, he's got the stats that put him above the others.

To give you an idea - Clemens isn't even close to 300 wins, neither is Maddux, and Glavine just got 200. Those three among them have 10 Cy Young's, but none of them wil approach Ryan in anyof those 3 major categories.

A lot of us missed Ryan in the 70's, but his 383 K's in one season remains the standard.

Surprised no one m,entioned Walter Johnson. He was a 400 GAME winner, and had an obscene 113 shutouts.

I think, also, that Griffey in the Top 3 is premature.

I watched Nolan Ryan pitch his 298, 299 wins and I must say after comparing those games at his age then to watching Clemens, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, Madux, Glavin none of those guys are even remotely close to him....The man could still throw 100mph past 40 years old, not to mention his outstanding stats....He is the top pitcher, with Walter Johnson not much behind him....

Ruth also played 20 years plus - did you know he actually played for the Brooklyn Dodgers for a little while after he played for the Yanks?

It is difficult for me to compare pre-WW2 players swith post WW2 players - the game was different from the time of Ruth to the time of Aaron.

Yes the parks in the days of the Babe were larger, but he also gotcredit for balls that bounced out of the park for HRs.

Either way I put Aaron and Mays before Ruth. I guess we'll just agree to disagree.

HRs were rarely hit until Ruth came along. He was hitting 30 home runs back then, that would have equated to 120 hrs as far as what the rest of the league was doing.

Not to mention Ruth's time spent as a pitcher b4 he switched over to a full time hitter. Amazing the numbers he put up as a pitcher.

Compare pitchers back then with todays? Those bastards pitched often on 2 days rest, a full 9 innings. How often does that happen today?

And Griffey? Are you crazy? Dude's hitting .236 or so right now in a hitters game. Notice the M's started kicking ass once he left too. He's got solid D and arm, but so do about 7 other fellas equally so in the game.

Hank Aaron was incredible, but just barely beat out Ruth in all time hrs. And don't forget about how Ruth would have fared in a time where more hrs were hit as in Aarons time.
