There are lots of good choices there: Aaron, Winfield, Ott, Ruth, Robinson, Slaughter, Jackson, Clemente, Kaline, and Gwynn. I chose Clemente

If you didn't put Ruth, you don't know what you're talking about.

Ruth was the most dominant player in any era. He led the league in homers with a distance that today a player would need to hit 90 - 100 HRs in a year to put that kind if distance between him and the next guy.

I chose Aaron because (although you're right Jyrk) Aaron exceeded Ruth's numbers despite enormous obstacles and pressure, namely receiving death threats daily.

Hank Aaron simply because he never seems to get any of the publicity for what he achieved, under imense duress What I like most about Aaron is the fact that he hit 755 Home Runs and NEVER stood at the plate and watched it go over the fence. He ran the bases the same way wether he hit a solo homer in a 10 - 0 game, or a walk-off 3 run job in extra innings, or even his 714th career blast. He respected the game and his opponents, and his peers respected him. Total class. Today' players should take note of how he is remembered.

Today' players should take note of how he is remembered. it's truly odd, how the very best players are'nt the most popular player. i.e. Barry Sanders, Aaron, Bonds, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Tarkenton, Rose.........

It's not odd. America likes an underdog, and envies success. Not so odd at all.
