The Best of Baseball

The author has ranked this century's all-time greatest players by position using a set of criteria designed to present a comprehensive review of player performance. Beginning with an introduction that outlines and explains the criteria used, the author designates the players with the highest ranking at each position to be a "Grand Master." Following each such player is a listing of the next five (sometimes more) in priority. Also provided are statistics such as Total Player Ratings, Fielding Runs, Batting Averages, Batting Runs, Earned Run Averages, and Pitcher's Defense, just to name a few.
