My top 10 lists, in no particular order (mainly because, like Bill's list, the order changes with the weather, the phase of the moon and the stock market).
Players I saw play (at least on TV) Carl Yastrzemski Albert Pujols Roberto Alomar Kirby Puckett Randy Johnson Larry Walker Devon White Paul Molitor Tom Henke Roy Halladay Before my time (or just missed seeing them play) Mickey Mantle Ted Williams Whitey Ford Jackie Robinson Hank Greenberg Sandy Koufax Lou Gehrig Roberto Clemente Warren Spahn Allie Reynolds

Going with players who were/are my favorites, some I've seen and some I only wish I had, and (clearly) not those I think were the best players:
1. Ernie Banks 2. [ ] 3. Honus Wagner 4. Satchel Paige 5. Roberto Clemente 6. Christy Mathewson 7. Mark "The Bird" Fidrych 8. Brooks Robinson 9. Bruce Sutter 10. Ron Santo The #2 spot is held open for a guy I used to really like . . . name escapes me, but they called him Charlie Hustle, because he used to play the game like an eight-year-old turned loose on the field . . . seems like he was even making a run at the all-time hit record once, then he just sort of vanished, and I never heard about him again. Wonder what happened to him.

I can only name them according to the category I enjoyed them in;
Batting/Hitting Lou Pinella Rod Carew Rusty Staub Mickey Rivers Joe Morgan Steve Garvey Ichiro Suzuki Pitching Catfish Hunter Greg Maddox Tom Seaver Mark Fidrych Tug McGraw Al Hrabosky Fielding Rey Ordonez Craig Nettles Paul Blair Just About Everything Pete Rose Cary Carter Keith Hernandez John Stearns Thurman Munson Fighting With Umps Earl Weaver Billy Martin Reading/Learning About Babe Ruth Mike Kelly Satchel Paige Josh Gibson Yogi Berra Gil Hodges Casey Stengle Moe Berg Is that more than 10 ? I lost count. I was never all that interested in Moe Berg and his curous doings until I read that his last, death bed words were "how did the Mets do today ?". Gotta love that
