    Not sure I have a strong opinion other than to say I think Teddy Ballgame should be in the mix (Ted Williams).  DiMaggio too.

    Greatest ballplayer of all time?  That is too tough for me to wrestle with. As baseball has more data and stats from the origins of the game gives you almost too much data compressed into the numbers.  But then the eras of the game impact the numbers.  So in summary I will play politician and pass w/o using any more waffle-words.
    However, I will offer ten would would likely hit everyone's list in no particular order;
    Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Henry Aaron, Willy Mays, Lou Gehrig, Cy Young, Christy Mathewson.

    im leaning towards dom over joe, just because he was a nice guy and i did work for him for alot of years starting with a tuna tower and then a pulpit for his boat. he worked and owned a company making carpeting for chrystler pretty much to the end after retirement from baseball. i was in his place pretty much weekly for years. he had two places of manufacture for carpet, one high tech and one very old school, his office was in the old school plant

    No issues with any of those players, but I can't buy the idea that there isn't a single player in the last 45 years or so that couldn't or shouldn't be considered the greatest of all time -- even if you avoid the obvious PED players, which I do.

    Totally fair point.  Before I offer you to post up nominees, I will serve up - Mike Trout, Miguel Cabrera and the greatest fireballer-Nolan Ryan.  Over to you.

    I understand your argument, but the hard part are the statistics.  Look at career batting average, for example.  You have to go pretty far down the list until you find a player from the last 45 years.

    So then you’re left with arguing that pitching and fielding have improved considerably over the last half century plus, and this helps explain the stats.  But this makes the discussion one that becomes rather subjective, at which point anything goes.  

    For me, a more interesting way to approach this might be to ask who the best player was, by decade.  There at least the stats can be compared across the board.

    Like a lot of players, he certainly became better when the PEDs entered the picture.

    It's a fun topic no matter where you happen to fall, and we all have biases towards players we likely watched more regularly on our favorite teams.

    Trout is the one the jumps immediately to mind for me from more recent decades, but I also don't think anyone likely played shortstop as well as Ozzie Smith. Who knows what the next several years holds, but I wouldn't bet against a healthy Ohtani, either. Skill level can be debated, but today's athletes in every sport are just bigger, faster and stronger and that's not an insult to previous generations of players. I'm not exactly a spring chicken and also get nostalgic, but I just think today's players are inherently better. I don't think Pete Rose was a better hitter than Ichiro, for example.

    Small pool of potential respond with only those choices and RRP away for a while. I'll go with It's Always Sunny, Arrested Development and the Office.

    I was going to make a standalone thread on the main forum about this, but it's funny that Kenji's technique for evenly-dicing an onion is more mathematically accurate than Neil deGrasse-Tyson's!

    Some US companies have already been caught selling drivers data to insurance companies already. GM is one of those companies. In the other hand cellphones already send incredible amounts of data to Google.
