Hitting the most homeruns over a career means being the best player?

I don't think so, but I think it is the crux of the Bonds argument. People are mad because he used steroids and broke a major record in baseball. Bonds can't ever be considered the best player, he never won a title.

I don't think Baseball players have to win a title to be considered great. It is by far the sport where individuals can be great and their team can still lose.

I'm talking G.O.A.T though.

Ted Williams = most talented baseball player ever

Even if you include batting eye in talent, I disagree.

I'd either go with Mays or Ruth for his two-way talents, or Josh Gibson, who was maybe the most talented hitter ever.

I find it hard to judge Ruth because the game he played was just so different than anything else we're used to. Similarly, it is hard to compare a Negro League ballplayer to MLB players.

Ted Williams was just an all-around boss and I think has the edge in hitting over Mays.

And back to writing my paper on Yogi Berra.
