The Year of the Shortstop: Who is the Best of the Best? Is Correa an All Star?

Who are the greatest slugging shortstops of all-time?

Real old-timers from the Greatest Generation will tell you there’ve never again been the likes of Joe Cronin, Lou Boudreaux, Luke Appling, surely Vern Stephens, who had the most career home runs by an AL shortstop, 247, before the ninteen ninties. Below is the great Red Sox slugger, Joe Cronin.

Baby boomer old-timers fondly remember the exploits of greats like Ernie Banks, Dick McCauliffe, Rico Petrocelli, Jim Fregosi. Below is pictured another Rex Sox shortstop, Rico Petrocelli, who was the only AL shortstop to hit 40 home runs before the steroid user , Alex Rodriguez, broke his record, the only other AL shortstop to do so.
