CHILL


I love Doug Glanvile. Drafted by the Cubs, plus he was a key acquisition for us in the 2003 season when we were 5 Outs away from the World Series.

To explain my vote for Rose, to me the list is who is the best hitter, it was a tough vote, but ive always thought he was the best Hitter

Now hitting to me isnt all homers and RBI's, its who is the best at getting on base, he did it more than anyone, and he has the 2nd longest hitting streak.

He beat out Aaron and Williams by a .001 in my vote. And Aaron beat Williams on my list because he leads in all time Homers(f.u.c.k. bonds) and RBI's.

Now if Williams didnt leave because of the war, he would've been the greatest, but we may never know.

dont flame me, thats just my opinion of it.

What in the hell are you talking about?

Pete Rose is 204th on the all-time career OBP list. :doh:

Combine that with a 604th rank in slugging %.....and is that really a top 10 hitter?

I mean, he's not even top 100th in batting average(rank-170, which is "decent"). Ever think he got so many hits because he's also first in career PAs?

Alright Round one is done, the top 10 have been determined...

1. Ted Williams- 47 points
2. Babe Ruth- 39 points
3. Ty Cobb- 36 points
4. Barry Bonds- 26 points
5. Lou Gehrig- 23 points
6. Rogers Hornsby- 20 points
7. Jimmie Foxx- 14 points
8. Josh Gibson- 13 points

You can post your list's for hitters 11-20 (I am hoping for 3 at least, that is a stretch). Like I said before you may vote for anyone who is not listed above, I will get my shit up soon.
11. Willie Mays
12. Rogers Hornsby
13. Mickey Mantle
14. Joe DiMaggio
15. Alex Rodriguez
16. Frank Robinson
17. Ken Griffey Jr.
18. Mike Schmidt
19. Willie McCovey
20. Honus Wagner

Wait..can't it be weighted somehow like an 11th place vote is worth 1 point less than a 10th place vote? That makes more sense..like 1st is worth 100 points, 100th is worth 1, etc..
Agreed. Good idea.

Whats so funny about Rose making the top 10. The guy with the most hits shouldnt be a surprise in the top 10 whether you hate him or not.

Rose will probably be in the high 20's, low 30's on my list.

Don't let the hits fool you, his on base percentage wasn't as spectacular.

I am a Ignorant Nazi Ass

Ok Phils idea is good and everything but having to reconfigure the points has been a pain in my ass, I was in the middle of doing it them lost my place because someone called me. Let's just leave it how it is, it is not perfect but what the hell...
