THE ALL TIME GREATEST PLAYER FOR EACH MLB TEAM

[Halldan1]

Major League Baseball has been a mainstay in the American sports world since it was established back in 1869. Since then baseball has become America’s pastime, a sport that symbolizes the changing of seasons, and one that brings friends and families together. Over the nearly 150 years that the MLB has been around we have seen some of the most talented athletes in the world take the field. Today we are plumbing the depths of history in order to field the ALL TIME GREATEST roster that baseball has ever seen. We picked the greatest player in franchise history for each active MLB team. Enjoy!

You need a bigger pitching staff.

Starters:
Ron Guidry
Mel Stottlemeyer
Andy Pettitte
Red Ruffing
Lefty Gomez
Vic Raschi

Bullpen:
Dave Righetti
Goose Gossage
Sparky Lyle

 

[hallgrad80]

I would just make one change. I would put Mike Mussina as my RHP ahead of Clemens .
Mussina - 123 - 72 ; .631 winning % 3.88 ERA
Clemens - 83 - 42 ; .664 winning % 4.01 ERA

But you have to look at his overall career record of 354-184

Now the hitting coach of the Marlins with Matttingly after Bonds was fired. Mattingly was going to walk if they didn't fire Bonds. Evidently Bonds liked leisurely work hours, lol.

Speaking of Pags, heard an interview with him this weekend and he went from SH to LH hitter because Joe Pepitone advised him hitting HR's at Yankee Stadium would be his quickest route to the big leagues one Spring Training. Sage advice.

Well if you want to go beyond the first team how about having these guys come off the bench

C Bill Dickey HOF
1B Don Mattingly
2B Tony Lazzeri HOF
SS Phil Rizutto HOF
3B Wade Boggs HOF
LF Dave Winfeld HOF
CF Bernie Williams
RF Reggie Jackson HOF

Don't forget Elston Howard

 

[Piratz]

Still pains me that Cano will finish his career in Seattle with the Mariners. What a hitter.

 

[Halldan1]

Don't forget Elston Howard

3rd team and we all know how good he was. On many teams he would have been higher.

 

[lr591902]

Waite Hoyt should be the right handed pitcher. He was the first of the Yankee great pitchers. He was elected to the Hall of Fame and was on six pennant winning teams

 

[GSD118]

Interesting take on this.

I would put Graig Nettles at third on that backup team....

I think you left someone out of the bullpen who should be there. LOL

 

[P1RAT3]

As a Red Sox fan (who was not alive to see ted williams play) I am not sure how you don't choose Big Papi here. I get that Williams was an all time great player, and also played the field which ortiz did not.

BUT with everything Ortiz has done for the Red Sox AND the city of Boston, he is unequivocally the greatest player in their franchises history

 

[GSD118]

The only other possibility is John Wettland but I think he only played 2 years with the Yanks.

 

[batts]

What about Mariano?

 

[GSD118]

What about Mariano?

He is in Dan's original list

 

[batts]

Duh! Thanks for pointing that out to me. LOL

This is insane.

Ever hear of Ted Williams and his work for the Jimmy Fund? That's doing quite a lot for Boston.

Then there's the matter of his giving up years of his playing career to be a fighter pilot in the war.

Yeesh.

 

[Shuathelete]

The one thing i know about ted williams is that he was pretty much god

Ortiz did, and still does, work for the Jimmy fund as well.

I don't want to take away from the kind of man it takes to drop a career like the one he had to serve his country, but that is more for the entire country as a whole and doesn't have as much to do with being the greatest red sox player of all time.

With all due respect, your opinion on this is nuts. As great as Big Papi was, he in NO WAY eclipses Ted Williams.

 

[halltheway]

I'II take Willie Randolph at second..classy act!..

 

[Johnny Biggs]

Agree with Dan's All Time Yankee team save for two changes:

2B. Lazzeri
RHP. Ruffing
(Clemens not with Yanks long enough)

 

[knights1212]

Ortiz was good but Ted Williams was one of the greatest players to ever play the game. No comparison in my book.

No. When you go to Fenway Park there is no seat a different color to mark where Ortiz hit a ball. Ortiz wasn't close to batting .400 ever. Ortiz had one job to hit and Williams did that better than Ortiz since he is considered the greatest hitter to ever live. Ortiz is a Red Sox hero. Teddy Ballgame is a legend up there.

First a guy disses Mantle and now this. Please there are not many players who were better than Ted Williams in all of baseball history. He is clearly the best Red Sox of all time

 

[Irishwakeup]

Mets. Sidd Finch

 

[BostonBlackie]

Let me know what # team it is when Andy Carey makes it at 3rd.

 

[batts]

Anyone consider putting DiMaggio over Ruth as the greatest Yankee? DiMaggio was a far more complete ball player. He also batted right handed in Yankee Stadium which lowered his home run production while the short right field fence certainly helped Ruth's home run numbers.

Good point...that's a toss-up in my book..you can make a good argument for either. The list by team was very good...splitting hairs buy I would take Harmon Killebrew over Puckett in Minnesota.

 

[hinson32]

IMO not even close. Ruth was the best player to ever play the game.

A great pitcher as well as a great hitter.

One of the only ways you can properly compare players of different eras is to match them against their contemporaries. Ruth was doing for the Yankees what other teams in total weren't doing. Not sure if this is accurate but he might of have as many home runs as the rest of the American League one time or maybe more. If that isn't accurate as I am going by memory I think it was close.

You are correct. It happened twice.
