Babe Ruth, Ted Williams top list of 10 greatest hitters ever - Joe Posnanski - SI.com
I read this article with interest. I didn't have a lot complaints about the final 4, but I would change the order. I'd actually have Bonds #2, Gehrig #3, and Williams #4. Williams was great, unquestionably, but Gehrig was just the epitome of consistency. Bonds... well, steroids or not, the man was the most feared hitter in history. It used to disgust me when they would deliberately walk him in the lead-off position, or even deliberately load the bases with less than 2 out. Took a lot out of the game for me. And Ruth... he has to be the number one simply for the legend aspect, if nothing else.
