Besides he WON all those World Series , all by him self , with those HR , walk & k's records he set ! Not hitting the ball at all in most of those records ?
55 to 60 % of the pitchers they face WERE too ! So, with that said , WERE were the black players records VRS those OLD timers at ? Oh, wait , they WERE NOT allowed to play Ruth , Foxx , Cobb , Wagner were they ! So, lets take away there records too , ok .
ruth is the greatest hr hitter of all time. its a math matical fact that cannot be argued. hitting the most doesnt make you better. people dont understand that
Ken Griffey Jr. might be the most underrated player of all-time. Everyone knows how great he was but he's never mentioned in "greatest hitters ever" discussions. He was in the shadows of the sosa vs McGuire race and wasn't involved in steroids. He kinda flew under the radar on his way to 600 home runs. I wish players like him would be recognized and applauded for not using PED, but in today's society, we only like to hear about the wrong things people do, never the right. Thank u Mr. Griffey Jr.
Griffey was the better slugger than Bonds prior to Bonds taking roids. With that said, he's just simply not the greatest hitter of all time. His on base percentage just wasn't good enough to put him in that conversation. Barry Bonds (pre-roids) and Frank Thomas were superior hitters than Griffey. With that said, Griffey is one of the greatest all around players ever and one of the greatest sluggers ever.
That is a fair point but a homerun isn't about strength. Maybe a few homeruns that bonds hit were muscled over but baseball is a game of precision where the difference between a ground ball and a homerun is less than 1/8 of an inch. Muscle definitely helps but those 762 balls that bonds hit were 762 perfectly hit baseballs and steroids don't teach you how to do that
Caden Candelaria explain how Sammy Sosa went from 36 home runs in 97 to 66 in 98 I still get you need skill to hit a baseball and steroids don’t substitute that but you need strength for power and steroids help you get twice the muscle in the same amount of time in the weight room.
@@cadencandelaria3734 how stupid of a comment, obviously they could all hit a home run, but Roids clearly put them way over the top in being able to do it, how do you think Sosa and bonds and Mcgwire could do it so easily all were slim athletes and then all of a sudden bulked up, they did it because it helped them, not because it barely helped, how stupid of a comment.
Bonds was still a beast despite all the crap y'all r talking on him.. He had skill.. So he wasn't the strongest & needed a lil help.. so what? Still tho my favorite guy is Ken Griffey Jr. he didn't use steroids in an era where everyone else did..
How about a player who led the league in home runs 70 percent of his years in the majors. How many of the players being mentioned here can you say that about? NONE... The hitter-Ralph Kiner... And if you think he just led the league because he batted a lot... EVERY year he led the league in homers,he led the league in homers per at bat. Bill James wrote that in terms of an ESTABLISHED ability in any point in time,that Kiner DOMINATED home run hitting more than any other player EVER.. .with the exception of the Babe.
But, see Eric, that's not what this list was about. Perhaps if you made a list consisting of criteria that you described you could make a video and tout Mr Kiner's accomplishments. I would watch that.
@@jeffhathaway6515 Also Kiner DID lead the league in HRS , with some years , that wouldn't even get close , now days ? AGAIN comparing players like Ruth to Bonds , it's just NOT the same games even being played , rules , talent and many other reason why ? Hell I , 1st started watching baseball back in 1975 & this game is NO wear close to that type of game back then ?
@Noah Murrell before steroids in a corse of half his career he had 3 mvps that’s more than Albert pujols won his whole damn career he batted 375 Ted Williams batted 400 he had 5 30 plus hr years he stole 40 bases he stole 30 bases and hit 30 hrs twice he had better stats than mike trout did in there first 8 seasons is mike trout a hof er yep this was bonds before steroids id say he belongs
Or are you just brainless he didn’t take steroids then but maybe you should realize that even when he did he was still a power hitter with great contact and speed he just got bigger
Had Babe Ruth had as many at bats as today’s home run hitters he would have had a total of around 860 homers if he had kept hitting them at the same clip throughout his career as he was. Far more than anyone else and a total that would have never been topped. Remember he was a pitcher for the first few seasons and the season only had 154 games instead of the 162 games of today. I have often wondered though how Ruth would have faired in today’s game. I’d bet that he would still be a home run leader today.
Where is Reggie Jackson he was a true power hitter go big or go strikeout am I right he would swing so hard he would be on his knees.POWER Baby dam he had that!!!!
Interesting that so many list Aaron as the greatest home run hitter. Since a lot say scratch Bonds because he cheated ,Aaron is number one.Are these people that are saying this saying Aaron would have been number one in life time homers if Bonds had not cheated- which is true,or are they saying their subjective opinion is that Aaron was really the greatest home run hitter ever?(which is the question posed by this video).I am old enough to remember almost all of Aaron's career .At times he was my favorite player.But when McCovey came along I thought he was phenomenal,and when McCovey retired I thought he was the best hitter- and home run hitter I had ever seen.Granted Mays and Aaron were far superior overall talents to McCovey ,but McCovey was the best hitter the Giants had in the sixties.So obviously I am saying - as a hitter and as a home run hitter McCovey was superior to Mays or Aaron- not by a wide margin.And McCovey did out homer Aaron per ab bat based on career numbers...slightly.But Aaron had a pitcher's park to play his home games in during the first half of his career,but a great hitters park to play in during the second half of his career . McCovey was always playing his home games in a difficult park for a hitter . So anyway I think McCovey belongs high up on this list.I realize ,of course, that analysts are not willing ,or capable, of making ball park adjustments when analyzing players. Of course Mays ,Aaron,and McCovey played a significant portion of their careers in the sixties when offensive was depressed more than any time since dead ball era,which ended about 1919.
I think both have a decent argument for top 10 home run hitters ever (as well as just flat out greatest hitters ever). Both of those guys hit for average, power, got on base, didn't strike out much, etc.
Bonds hit over 700 homeruns and walked over 600 times steroids or not this man the GOAT every good hitter took steroids and never came close to bonds hitting
As a die hard Cubs fan, Sammy shouldn't be on this list. He was a great slugger prior to taking roids but he wasn't an all time great slugger. Also, prior to taking roids, Griffey was a better slugger than Bonds. No WAY does Bonds deserve to be number 1 on this list. And the reason for that is, once again, the fact that he wasn't even the best slugger of his own era prior to taking roids. McGuire is an iffy choice as well, since he was roiding up most of, if not all of his career. Same could be said of Alex Rodriguez. All of the roiders minus Bonds should be removed from this list, and guys like Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Harmen Kilibrew and maybe someone like Ernie Banks or Frank Thomas should take their places.
Babe Ruth #1 IMO First 5 years of his career he was a pitcher, only playing once every 5 games, had he played everyday at 1B, he would have well over 800, maybe even 900.
@@Rspenesmit Also figure he wasn't playing VRS blacks and for the MOST part , same pitcher in the game , in other words he didn't face LH relief pitchers in the 6, 7 , 8 or 9th innings did he ? I also find it hard to believe that to many of those pitchers back then threw in the mid to upper 90's , either , maybe a couple did , BUT , NOT , like they do now day' s .
@@robertd.7060 ok then, here is another number for you, 226. That is the number of HRs added to Ruth if he played in modern fields. When Ryth played the fields were an average of 16% bigger and if the ball hit the foul pole it was a foul. If babe had as many at bats as hank, with the adjusted hr total, he hits 1131 HRs. Compare apples to apples. Of course babe didn't face 90mph plus pitches and wouldn't have done as well. The same can be said for hank and bonds. They literally couldn't handle double and triple wind ups from the pitcher either, nor could they have handle double and triple step movements that are now a balk.
Ralph Kiner led the National League in homers seven consecutive years and he is not even close to this list. This list is just players with the most home runs and directly correlating numbers with greatness. Quite a sophomoric list if you ask me. Check out other stats like homers per at bat and this changes quite dramatically.
I don't think Kiner's EVER leading the league with 23 HRS , 37 HRS , maybe even his 40 or 42 in any FULL season now days , is he ! Just like Ruth to Bonds , IT"S {NOT } the same type of game is it !
I wonder how many home runs Babe Ruth would have hit if he was on steroids. I wonder how many home runs he would have hit if early on in his career, he already knew there was a number to catch (755). In both cases, he would have hit 800 at least.
I wonder how many he'd {RUTH } & others would hit now VRS all ball players , not , just the whites & with these pitchers throwing much harder and yes , let him face 3 to 5 pitchers a game , not just 1 & with some of those being LH pitchers , just for players like him ! KEEP in mind , just as {MANY ] pitchers if not more were doing it too . Oh, NO ONE walked as many times & 1 time with the bases loaded as Bonds . RUTH never done that , also were was Gehrig hitting BEHIND Bonds ? Kent hit in front of Bonds , so Bonds was protecting him for most of their time together ?
Nah. He certainly could have been if he focused mostly on hitting home runs, but he was a pure hitter. Imo he has a great case for top 10 hitter all time, but when it came to homers there were better sluggers during his era as well as historically. But again, as far as pure hitters? He was amazing. He could hit for crazy averages, hit home runs, hit double, take tons of walks, didn't strike out that much, etc.
Then take out ALL the white players that didn't face black players , too ! For they WERE {NOT } playing all the GREATS at there time ! SEE , just were this sh#t goes ? They also changed the balls around 1920 . Look at how many players that couldn't hit HRS , all of sudden they now could , what changed there ! Rogers Hornsby is one such player , look it up & he's not the only one that this helped out ? SO , when you do this , a FEW players ARE not making your list are they ?
To me, Hank Aaron will always be the king of home runs. IMO, Barry Bonds, A-Rod, Sammy Sosa, and Mark Mcguire should not be on this list, nor do they belong in the Hall of Fame for PEDs. However, I do respect Mark Mcguire the most out of those 4 since he's the only one who admitted to using PEDs.
@@williamhendershot5495 Yes & he face ALL players , not just the whites ONLY and relief pitchers too , were the OLD timers for the most part just face 1 pitcher, come on man ! We could do this ALLLLL DAYYYY long ! PS , Yankees stadium down the line wasn't that far form home plate ? You think , maybe Ruth might have hit some cheap HR"S ? OR are you going to say every single HR he hit went 450 feet ? Aaron DID NOT have Gehrig batting behind him , either ? Some might put HIM , right there with Ruth & would they be WRONG ?
The Babe tops coz he can hit one with his right hand and holding a cigar in the other while wearing a fur coat and a hangover. He had natural ability and power. McGwire didn't need steroids to be good and he should have just laid off that whatever. Ralph Kiner led the National league in homers 7 consecutive years. He deserves to be in. Aaron hit a bunch but isn't close to the babe or mcgwire in at bats per homer. He just played a long time and stayed healthy. The juice or the cream or whatever didn't help keeping the playing field even. Just because you hit a lot doesn't mean you're a great home run hitter. Micky Mantle hit a lot of long long balls and needs to be mentioned.
I love your comment about Babe Ruth. That guy was amazing. And he was a damn good pitcher too! Consider: In the 1916 World Series between the Red Sox and Brooklyn Robins (eventually Dodgers), Ruth took on Sherry Smith in what would become one of the biggest pitching match-ups in history. The game was tied 1-1 through 14 innings until the Red Sox finally scored and won the game. Both Ruth and Sherry Smith pitched the entire game, which is still the longest World Series game ever played. In the 1918 World Series, Babe Ruth pitched 29 1/3 scoreless innings, a mark that stood until 1961 when Whitey Ford finally broke it. It wasn’t until 1919 that Babe began his transition into a hitter, with 17 games pitching and 130 games hitting that year. In the four and a half seasons that Babe devoted to pitching, he amassed the following statistics: ERA - Earned Run Average (2.28 career): #1 in ERA in the American League (AL) in 1916. 15th overall for career ERA. Wins (65 career): Top 3 in the AL in 2 of his 5 full seasons as a pitcher. Won the most games of any left-handed pitcher in the Majors from 1915-17. Win/Loss% (.671 career): 12th on the list for best career win/loss percentage. Strikeouts: Top 5 in the AL in 2 of his 5 full seasons as a pitcher. Shutouts: #1 in the AL in 1916. In Babe Ruth’s 1916 season as a pitcher, his record was 23 Wins and 170 Strikeouts, with a 1.75 ERA, 9 Shutouts and 23 Complete Games - a very impressive mark for even the best pitchers in baseball. To give some perspective, Roger Clemens, who is considered to be one of the best pitchers today and throughout baseball history, has earned himself a record 7 Cy Young Awards. In what has been considered the best season of his career to date, Clemens had the following record: 24 Wins, 238 Strikeouts, a 2.48 ERA, 1 Shutout and 10 Complete Games. (From Babe Ruth central) Re: Mantle- The Mick was a slammer, for sure. He was also well liked, not only among the Yankee fans, but quite popular all over the world. He ranks # 18 with 536 home runs.
how do you include Mays and not Mantle, heck I watched Mantle beat Mays on Home run derby on tv when I was a kid, LOL!, Mantle pure athlete and power, partier, drinker, imagine him taking care of himself and not having injured his knee and on Roids, LOL!
Sammy and Mark yes, Barry no. Bonds was on his way to hitting 600+ home runs before ever taking roids, so he's one of the greatest sluggers ever regardless of roiding up. He sure as hell doesn't deserve to be number 1 though.
NO, I use to collect baseball cards and I could just look at their cards throughout their careers and tell you instantly the ones that did steroids, you could see the transformation over time the ones that suddenly bulked up like a football lineman, Thome, Bonds, Mcgwire, Mark always was a big guy, but i went back to the A's early World Series with him and he was tall and thinner, until he got on roids, Sosa and others, I live iN cincinnati, Ohio and watched Ken griffey Jr. at Moeller Hs, he was a man among boys then, he had a sweet natural swing, he was always accused of not trying, being lazy, because it all came so easy for him, super gifted athlete, he did not need roids, neither did Bonds he began as a slimmer athlete also, but got into the bigger money for hitter HR's and the chase for the record, is what got him into it all.
@@Rspenesmit I'm sorry , BUT , not 1 story EVER come out on Thome I believe , He"s just a mid- west farm boy & his body didn't changed that much , that you couldn't say was age ? I'm a BIG REDS fan , way back to the mid 1970's & collect all main sports cards way back to the 1950's BUT , Ken DIDN"T look like that ROOKIE in 1989 , when he was a Reds player did he ? NOT , saying he did do them , but I could just say the SAME about Jim , too . PS , you want to add MONEY into this ? Owners, MLB , ESPN & other Net works and for a while WE card collectors did too , right .
I'd gladly put him as number one.people forget pitchers were on juice hell the coaches probably were .no better hitter in the world .yep I bet you these new guys are hitting 500 feet home runs drinking red bull .wt heck ever
Sad that most of this list is of either known cheats or players from eras long past. Ken Griffey Jr. Is the greatest hitter of all time. Bar none. Thank you, that is all.
Matt Hart. well I do not think there is an A in Harmon's last name.. but that is an intelligent choice. Bill James wrote that if he had played in a different ballpark and era...he would have hit 700 career homers.
Coach Kent Murphy well he didn't hit more homers than Ruth so if you take away the 2 years he would be even farther from him. Arod had 696 and Ruth had 714

You 'need' to mind your own business. You need to stop telling people what they 'need' to do.
People make excuses for cheats if u cheat u should automatically lose a lot of credibility
JIM THOME IS THE MOST OVERLOOKED, UNDERRATED POWER HITTER OF ALL TIME
100% agree..played in the steroid era (90's-2000's), never accused, over 600 hrs and still hit bombs late in his career.
What about Mickey Mantel? he was a switch hitter to should be on the list imo
Based on thier rankings on the Home Run list NOT an opinion piece you bozo.

50 percent of the guys in this video took steroids

In my opinion, Bonds and Sosa shouldn't be on the list because they were on steroids. In my heart at least Hank Aaron is the true homerun champion...

First 5 years of his career he was a pitcher, only playing once every 5 games, had he played everyday at 1B, he would have well over 800, maybe even 900.
Also figure in the fact that Ruth was hitting more home runs than entire teams, how funny is that!
@@Rspenesmit Also figure he wasn't playing VRS blacks and for the MOST part , same pitcher in the game , in other words he didn't face LH relief pitchers in the 6, 7 , 8 or 9th innings did he ? I also find it hard to believe that to many of those pitchers back then threw in the mid to upper 90's , either , maybe a couple did , BUT , NOT , like they do now day' s .
@@robertd.7060 ok then, here is another number for you, 226. That is the number of HRs added to Ruth if he played in modern fields. When Ryth played the fields were an average of 16% bigger and if the ball hit the foul pole it was a foul. If babe had as many at bats as hank, with the adjusted hr total, he hits 1131 HRs.
Compare apples to apples. Of course babe didn't face 90mph plus pitches and wouldn't have done as well. The same can be said for hank and bonds. They literally couldn't handle double and triple wind ups from the pitcher either, nor could they have handle double and triple step movements that are now a balk.
Ralph Kiner led the National League in homers seven consecutive years and he is not even close to this list. This list is just players with the most home runs and directly correlating numbers with greatness. Quite a sophomoric list if you ask me. Check out other stats like homers per at bat and this changes quite dramatically.
I don't think Kiner's EVER leading the league with 23 HRS , 37 HRS , maybe even his 40 or 42 in any FULL season now days , is he ! Just like Ruth to Bonds , IT"S {NOT } the same type of game is it !
"If you ask me..."
Ah, there's the rub. Nobody asked you. You pathetic pussified pantywaisted little pissant.
I wonder how many home runs Babe Ruth would have hit if he was on steroids. I wonder how many home runs he would have hit if early on in his career, he already knew there was a number to catch (755). In both cases, he would have hit 800 at least.
I wonder how many he'd {RUTH } & others would hit now VRS all ball players , not , just the whites & with these pitchers throwing much harder and yes , let him face 3 to 5 pitchers a game , not just 1 & with some of those being LH pitchers , just for players like him ! KEEP in mind , just as {MANY ] pitchers if not more were doing it too . Oh, NO ONE walked as many times & 1 time with the bases loaded as Bonds . RUTH never done that , also were was Gehrig hitting BEHIND Bonds ? Kent hit in front of Bonds , so Bonds was protecting him for most of their time together ?
Frank Thomas. The Big Hurt.
Nah. He certainly could have been if he focused mostly on hitting home runs, but he was a pure hitter. Imo he has a great case for top 10 hitter all time, but when it came to homers there were better sluggers during his era as well as historically. But again, as far as pure hitters? He was amazing. He could hit for crazy averages, hit home runs, hit double, take tons of walks, didn't strike out that much, etc.

Well most of these guys did steroids
This song is nice
Gotta add pujiols
Another roid guy that somehow avoided the contraversy of it all, he was a quiet guy, but he went from slim athlete to offenisve lineman in no time.
Half of these are Cheats
You can't leave JOSH GIBSON out forever
He can do whatever he wants. Knock it off.
Babe, then who cares.
I'm not including any of the Steroid cheaters in my top 10 list.
Then take out ALL the white players that didn't face black players , too ! For they WERE {NOT } playing all the GREATS at there time ! SEE , just were this sh#t goes ? They also changed the balls around 1920 . Look at how many players that couldn't hit HRS , all of sudden they now could , what changed there ! Rogers Hornsby is one such player , look it up & he's not the only one that this helped out ? SO , when you do this , a FEW players ARE not making your list are they ?
@@robertd.7060
Cut the crap, remus.
To me, Hank Aaron will always be the king of home runs. IMO, Barry Bonds, A-Rod, Sammy Sosa, and Mark Mcguire should not be on this list, nor do they belong in the Hall of Fame for PEDs. However, I do respect Mark Mcguire the most out of those 4 since he's the only one who admitted to using PEDs.
Aaron had 800 more games than Ruth. The fences were pulled in, and the rules changes making it easier. He is not the king of anything.
@@williamhendershot5495 Yes & he face ALL players , not just the whites ONLY and relief pitchers too , were the OLD timers for the most part just face 1 pitcher, come on man ! We could do this ALLLLL DAYYYY long ! PS , Yankees stadium down the line wasn't that far form home plate ? You think , maybe Ruth might have hit some cheap HR"S ? OR are you going to say every single HR he hit went 450 feet ? Aaron DID NOT have Gehrig batting behind him , either ? Some might put HIM , right there with Ruth & would they be WRONG ?
@@robertd.7060Whites are the best, plus Aaron used amphetamines.
The Babe tops coz he can hit one with his right hand and holding a cigar in the other while wearing a fur coat and a hangover. He had natural ability and power. McGwire didn't need steroids to be good and he should have just laid off that whatever. Ralph Kiner led the National league in homers 7 consecutive years. He deserves to be in. Aaron hit a bunch but isn't close to the babe or mcgwire in at bats per homer. He just played a long time and stayed healthy. The juice or the cream or whatever didn't help keeping the playing field even. Just because you hit a lot doesn't mean you're a great home run hitter. Micky Mantle hit a lot of long long balls and needs to be mentioned.
I love your comment about Babe Ruth. That guy was amazing. And he was a damn good pitcher too! Consider:
In the 1916 World Series between the Red Sox and Brooklyn Robins (eventually Dodgers), Ruth took on Sherry Smith in what would become one of the biggest pitching match-ups in history. The game was tied 1-1 through 14 innings until the Red Sox finally scored and won the game. Both Ruth and Sherry Smith pitched the entire game, which is still the longest World Series game ever played. In the 1918 World Series, Babe Ruth pitched 29 1/3 scoreless innings, a mark that stood until 1961 when Whitey Ford finally broke it. It wasn’t until 1919 that Babe began his transition into a hitter, with 17 games pitching and 130 games hitting that year. In the four and a half seasons that Babe devoted to pitching, he amassed the following statistics:
ERA - Earned Run Average (2.28 career):
#1 in ERA in the American League (AL) in 1916.
15th overall for career ERA.
Wins (65 career):
Top 3 in the AL in 2 of his 5 full seasons as a pitcher.
Won the most games of any left-handed pitcher in the Majors from 1915-17.
Win/Loss% (.671 career):
12th on the list for best career win/loss percentage.
Strikeouts:
Top 5 in the AL in 2 of his 5 full seasons as a pitcher.
Shutouts:
#1 in the AL in 1916.
In Babe Ruth’s 1916 season as a pitcher, his record was 23 Wins and 170 Strikeouts, with a 1.75 ERA, 9 Shutouts and 23 Complete Games - a very impressive mark for even the best pitchers in baseball. To give some perspective, Roger Clemens, who is considered to be one of the best pitchers today and throughout baseball history, has earned himself a record 7 Cy Young Awards. In what has been considered the best season of his career to date, Clemens had the following record: 24 Wins, 238 Strikeouts, a 2.48 ERA, 1 Shutout and 10 Complete Games.
(From Babe Ruth central)
Re: Mantle- The Mick was a slammer, for sure. He was also well liked, not only among the Yankee fans, but quite popular all over the world. He ranks # 18 with 536 home runs.
Cheaters belong on no list.
I've played baseball sence 2010 but last year was real bad so I took this year off
where is albert pujols
Pujols hadn't passed McGwire and Robinson yet when this video was made.
Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Ty Cobb?
how do you include Mays and not Mantle, heck I watched Mantle beat Mays on Home run derby on tv when I was a kid, LOL!, Mantle pure athlete and power, partier, drinker, imagine him taking care of himself and not having injured his knee and on Roids, LOL!
Cobb couldnt hit a home run if he had to, LOL!
background noise always disrupts the true sound of the game. you know to think out 86 that shit.
86 YoAss
Barry bonds is a bust. #steroids. Hank should be first
Take Sammy ,mark and Barry off this list Hank and the babe truly best
Sammy and Mark yes, Barry no. Bonds was on his way to hitting 600+ home runs before ever taking roids, so he's one of the greatest sluggers ever regardless of roiding up. He sure as hell doesn't deserve to be number 1 though.
STANTON
And half of them used steroids
Barry,mark,Sammy, and Alex used steroids
Sammy never test positive
12 34 yea
Did ken Griffey jr use steroids
NO, I use to collect baseball cards and I could just look at their cards throughout their careers and tell you instantly the ones that did steroids, you could see the transformation over time the ones that suddenly bulked up like a football lineman, Thome, Bonds, Mcgwire, Mark always was a big guy, but i went back to the A's early World Series with him and he was tall and thinner, until he got on roids, Sosa and others, I live iN cincinnati, Ohio and watched Ken griffey Jr. at Moeller Hs, he was a man among boys then, he had a sweet natural swing, he was always accused of not trying, being lazy, because it all came so easy for him, super gifted athlete, he did not need roids, neither did Bonds he began as a slimmer athlete also, but got into the bigger money for hitter HR's and the chase for the record, is what got him into it all.
@@Rspenesmit I'm sorry , BUT , not 1 story EVER come out on Thome I believe , He"s just a mid- west farm boy & his body didn't changed that much , that you couldn't say was age ? I'm a BIG REDS fan , way back to the mid 1970's & collect all main sports cards way back to the 1950's BUT , Ken DIDN"T look like that ROOKIE in 1989 , when he was a Reds player did he ? NOT , saying he did do them , but I could just say the SAME about Jim , too . PS , you want to add MONEY into this ? Owners, MLB , ESPN & other Net works and for a while WE card collectors did too , right .
sosa...? yeah no...
Shelia Ellison man Sammy sosa is god
were is Big papi David Ortiz
josh v joking
josh v nope he not top 10
I'd gladly put him as number one.people forget pitchers were on juice hell the coaches probably were .no better hitter in the world .yep I bet you these new guys are hitting 500 feet home runs drinking red bull .wt heck ever
Sad that most of this list is of either known cheats or players from eras long past. Ken Griffey Jr. Is the greatest hitter of all time. Bar none. Thank you, that is all.
BABE RUTH, DUDE
What about killabrew
Matt Hart. well I do not think there is an A in Harmon's last name.. but that is an intelligent choice. Bill James wrote that if he had played in a different ballpark and era...he would have hit 700 career homers.
Kellebrew was a slammer. He actually had the most HRs (393) of the 60s decade, going from 1960 through 1969. That's a lot of homers in one decade!
How bout Arron judge
Dan Oneill he just beginning his career he got a long way to go. But for 52 homeruns in his first season is incredible
Dan Oneill not even close
Barry was a juice head along with McGwire and Sossa and A Rod I'd put Aron at #1 Ruth #2 Josh Gibson I would put high up there as well
Ruth was on coke he was juiced
Barry bonds doesn't deserve to be in the number one spot a lot of his home runs were because he was on steroids Hank Arron should be number 1
William Turner II your stupid he should be
No sign of intelligent life here...
Barry bonds is a cheater
Gavin Smith still the goat
Any list that has bonds on it is not worth looking at, the biggest cheater in history,
Lmfaooo
No no no NO WAY !! not these dudes like Barry Bonds , Mark Mcguire or Sammy Sosa 👎👎
Giancarlo Stanton?
Bottle Flip Madness joking right?
WashYourHands nope
WashYourHands he hasent hitin over 400 hr yet
In the DC office all the time ....LOL
if I were you I will only count 9 home run hitters because barry bonds is a cheater I don't want to count the all time cheater
marky Tijero Arod? McGwire? Sosa?
Coach Kent Murphy how would he beat Ruth if he you take away the 2 years?
Coach Kent Murphy well he didn't hit more homers than Ruth so if you take away the 2 years he would be even farther from him. Arod had 696 and Ruth had 714
