Although I never got to see the All Time Greats, I'd have to say Ted Williams. Stan Musial was great also. Ty Cobb was no slouch either. Adding power you need to add Willie Mays and Babe Ruth.

C - Josh Gibson; can't forget about the Negro Leagues; Bench is definitely one to consider though\n\n1B - Lou Gehrig; in about 20 years, I may be putting Pujols here\n\n2B - Rogers Hornsby; consideration given to Nap Lajoie and Rod Carew\n\nSS - Honus Wagner; Ozzie Smith was the best defensive SS, and Ernie Banks was the best offensive SS, but Wagner is the best all around; probably the toughest position to pick\n\n3B - Mike Schmidt; Brooks Robinson was better defensively, but Schmidt was significantly better at the plate, which is why he gets the nod\n\nLF - Stan Musial; I know a lot of people are wondering about Williams here, but Musial had nearly 1000 more career hits, was a 24 time All Star and a 3 time MVP, not to mention the four World Series that he played in.  And he played in roughly the same time frame ('41-'63) as Williams ('39-'60), who was a 17 time All Star and won 1 MVP while playing in just one World Series.\n\nCF - Willie Mays; with some big considerations to Mantle, Cobb, and Oscar Charleston\n\nRF - Babe Ruth; all apologizes to Aaron (with his career HR and RBI records) and Clemente (with his 12 Gold Gloves), but it was Ruth's lifetime .342 average that really got me leaning this way...oh yeah, and he hit for quite a bit of power.\n\nSP - Walter Johnson; with a large amount of consideration given to Young, Spahn, Mathewson, Bob Gibson, Satchel Paige and Koufax, but it was Johnson's W's, K's, shut-outs (110) and lifetime 2.35 ERA that set him apart from the pack.\n\nRP - Eckersley; revolutionized the closer position, after spending 12 years as a starter\n\nPH - Lenny Harris, has more pinch hits than anybody else in the history of the game, and a .263 career average as a pinch hitter (not bad considering he has 800+ career PH AB's)\n\nHonorable Mention - Looking over the list of players that I didn't include, it's difficult to pick just one.  However, I'd have to go with Ted Williams for the Honorable Mention.  If he played just about any other position, he would have been my first choice.

The greatest sportsman who ever lived is Jackie Robinson. He was the first black man to play major league baseball, he was MVP in 1949 while leading the Brooklyn Dodgers to the World Series and he paved the way for racial diversity in baseball. Not to mention he's the only player in MLB history to have his number retired by ever single team. \nThe greatest sportswoman ever was Martina Navratilova. During her tennis career she won the women's singles title at Wimbledon a record 9 times!! Not to mention 18 grand slam titles and 40 doubles titles.

i think cy young's victory record is the only record that is unbreakable.  i suppose that doesn't make him necessarily the best.  walter johnson was supposed to be awesome.  ever hear the story about bob feller?  he threw a called strike to a guy, and the batter said "it sounded low."

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.\n\nActually their is a lot of people in the Hall of Fame who never played a game.  Their are managers, owners, umpires, executives, sports writers.  and broadcasters who are in the HOF.  \n\nThe correct question who are only two people who never covered, played, umpired, or worked in the MLB or Nero leagues whoa re in the Baseball Hall of Fame.  Abbott and Costello would be that answer.
