ESPN recently came out with their top 100 baseball players of all time list and there certainly were some interesting choices made by their panel of voters. Babe Ruth getting the number one spot over Willie Mays, Pedro Martinez ranked higher than Ken Griffey Jr., and Cal Ripken Jr. ranked lower than Ernie Banks are a few examples.
But there were a couple players I feel strongly about who shouldn’t have been ranked higher than Tony Gwynn on this list. Gwynn was ranked at 44th.
Before getting into the names, I want to be clear.
