I agree Frank Thomas should be on the list. But who do you take off?



Thomas won 2 MVPs and was in the Top 5 in MVP voting six times. I remember him carrying the 1993 White Sox even though he was walked so much in the post season.

Jimmie Foxx and Rogers Hornsby really stick out considering the era the played.  Jimmie Foxx especially.  Foxx played in the 20s and 30s.  He had more HRs, runs, RBIs, and a far better average and OPS than Frank Thomas in almost the same amount of games.  His numbers are crazy amazing!


The 20's and 30's had more offense than any other era. The 1930 A's won 102 games with an era of 4.94.

ops+ has Foxx at 163 and Thomas at 156 for their careers, closer than I expected.

We have a tie so far. Anymore votes coming in?

Manny & no A-Rod?

Jimmy Foxx but only because Rogers Hornsby is not listed. That's like leaving Cy Young off the best pitcher listed so we can include Jake Arrieta.
