Teddy Ballgame's Take on Hitters

I came across this list on the internet and I thought it was interesting, after this article was written: AGMVC: Top 10 Hitters of All Time. There was a lot of debate on who we thought should be in the top 10, especially Pete Rose, and Tony Gwynn. This is a list of the top 20 hitters by Ted Williams. Keep in mind though that this list was made in 1994 and Gwynn still played for about another 7 years. Also some other guys on some peoples list clearly wont be on here like Vladimir Guerrero, Ichiro Suzuki, or Albert Pujols. However, Pete Rose does not even make his top 20. I also think there are a few surprises on here, especially towards the end of the list. Also keep in mind, he does not include himself on this list.

1. Babe Ruth
2. Lou Gehrig
3. Jimmie Foxx
4. Rogers Hornsby
5. Joe DiMaggio
6. Ty Cobb
7. Stan Musial
8. Joe Jackson
9. Hank Aaron
10. Willie Mays
11. Hank Greenberg
12. Mickey Mantle
13. Tris Speaker
14. Al Simmons
15. Johnny Mize
16. Mel Ott
17. Harry Heilmann
18. Frank Robinson
19. Mike Schmidt
20. Ralph Kiner

Interesting. Although nobody on this list played past the 70's. There are several recent players who should make this list. But who am I to argue with Teddy Ballgame?
