I was always a pretty huge mark for Eric Karros.

Cap Anson getting a mention. Nice.

Gonna give Bill Terry and Jim Bottemley a nomination here.

Pujols might go down as the best ever though.

Definitely Gehrig.

Should have included Mattingly in the poll. Amazing defender, one of the best hitters of the 1980s.

Gehrig. Ask again in five years, and the answer will probably be Pujols. But at the moment, Gehrig's on top. An excellent hitter and solid defender who went out there and played every day. If it hadn't been for his health problems, who knows what else he could have done?

I voted for Pujols, because when he's all said and done he will easily be one of the best players in history. It's hard to recognize something that is going on, and we often hold the past in a higher regard, but seeing what Pujols has done in what, five or six years? I think he will be the best.

Didn't MLB say McGuire was the top 1B of all time back in 2000?

yep. He was on that Top 100 All-Century team I think.

Rose, Griffy (JR) and Ted Williams were the 'all time' best OF on that team. Bench at Catcher I believe.

That's all I can think of right now.

Oh and Ripken at SS and Robinson at 3B (I think)

Someone able to look that up?

There was a 100 though. That's just the starting lineup.

It was Ruth, Aaron, Williams.

Wasn't that voted on by fans, though? Naturally, they would vote for people they've seen, right?
