Greatest baseball players ever

Here's one listing based to some extent on statistics but to a large degree on common wisdom:

1) The Babe: dominated the game as no one has before or since--an excellent pitcher to boot.
2) Willie Mays: The most complete ballplayer of all time. His stats, excellent as they are, do not capture his contribution to the game.
3) T. Williams: An offensive powerhouse; first all time in OBP, second all time in lifetime OPS.
4) T. Cobb: Fierce competitors whose respect among his peers was rivaled only by Ruth.
5) M. Mantle: Incredible run producer who was an underrated fielder.
6) Hank Aaron: Picture of consistent excellence.
7) Bonds: Hard to like, impossible to ignore.
8) S. Musial: Like Aaron, a near-perfect role model baseball player.
9) Honus Wagner: Incredible defensive skills at shortstop
10) Mike Schmidt: Fabulous defensive player whose offensive skills were never given their full credit because of his batting average.

Here's another listing following a measuring tool I devised which emphasizes OPS. On base average plus slugging average (OPS) measures how often a batter gets on base as well as how many bases, on average, he gets per at bat. It is probably the single best statistic to measure offensive production. What I have done is to look at how players ranked in OPS for every season of their career for their respective leagues. On this scale players received ten points for being in first place in their league in OPS and one point for tenth place. Then I add up the total number of points they "earned" for a career. What is nice about the measure is that it takes into account peak periods as well as longevity. What it obviously does not measure is movement along the base paths (i.e. stealing and base running) and defensive play. Here's how the top players stacked up:

1) Babe Ruth 153
2) Ty Cobb 147
3) Stan Musial 145
4) Hank Aaron 136
5) Rogers Hornsby 129
6) Ted Williams 125
7) Barry Bonds 126
8) Willie Mays 125
9) Tris Speaker 123
10) Mel Ott 123
11) Honus Wagner 120
12) Frank Robinson 114
13) Mickey Mantle 113
14) Mike Schmidt 107
15) Lou Gehrig 106
