34th Greatest Hitter

[Bill Burgess]

Congratulations to Tony Gwynn for winning our 33rd Greatest Hitter series! The Padres' sweet-swinging, great-hitting right-fielder, scored 30 points with 2 first place votes to edge George Brett. The BoSox' 3rd baseman's high BA-ave. ace scored 28 points and 1 first place vote. Third place money went to Harry Heilmann, the Tigers' high-BA hitter of the 20s. Harry scored 24 points but 3 fat first place votes.

Thanks to fenir and PVNICK for contributing fresh ballots to our on-going series! Really appreciate it. I guess BigRon forgot to get around to voting with us this round. Maybe next round.

This round for our 33nd Greatest Hitter of All Time is now open! Let the Games Begin! Round 33 will end when AstrosFan calls it. How bout helpin' him out with lots of full 5 person ballots and 5 person Honorable Mentions to work with!

We actually collected 5 whole ballots, folks! We is on a major roll. And gaining momentum!

Red = Negro Leagues = 1
Blue = 19th Century = 2
Bold = active = 1

As per our usual, please consider everything. Relative stats, counting totals, peak, longevity, special skills, home/away splits, etc. If anyone wants to show the relative stats, home/away breakdowns for the leading candidates, that would be great. Can't hurt, always helps.

We are now ONLY voting for the 34th Greatest Hitter. So, please submit your list of your next Top 5 Hitters along with your next set of 5 Honorable Mentions, if you would be so kind. As the winner of Round 33, Tony Gwynn is now eliminated from our further consideration.

Reference Resources:

Relative SLG. Ave. is the 1st number, and serves as presumption unless I note mitigating factors.

1. Babe Ruth - 172.5 - 13 SLG. titles - 10,504 PA - 207 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 303. Need I say more? Nuff said.

2. Ted Williams - 154.9 - 9 SLG. titles - 9786 PA - 185 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 220. Takes 2nd nicely. Missing war yrs.? Offset by Babe's "missing pitching yrs."

3. Ty Cobb - 141.4 - 8 SLG. titles - 12,777 PA- 167 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 159. Ranks above others with higher SLG. AVE., due to more titles, over a much longer career, higher PA, extended decline phase. Differences in PA with Hornsby equals 7 full seasons of decline.

4. Rogers Hornsby - 147.3. - 9 titles - 9259 PA - 175 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 203. High SLG. Ave./titles earn high ranking.

5. Lou Gehrig - 154.0 - 2 SLG. titles - 9954 PA - 179 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 230. Ave. held up well, of course due to lack of decline phase, hence low PA. Only won 2 titles.

6. Barry Bonds - 148.0 - 7 SLG. titles - 12,606 PA - 182 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 213. I had him ranked 2nd, but his admitted steroid usage drops him IMHO. Had too great an advantage over his peers.

7. Honus Wagner - 132.9 - 6 SLG. Titles - 11,731 PA - 150 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 167

8. Willie Mays - 139.2 - 5 SLG. titles - 12,480 PA - 156 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 186.

9. Mickey Mantle - 143.8 - 4 SLG. titles - 9895 PA - 172 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 198. Too few titles over relatively weak sluggers.

10. Hank Aaron - 140.6 - 4 SLG. titles - 13,919 PA - 155 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 187. Too few titles over long career.

11. Jimmy Foxx - 143.7 - 5 SLG. titles - 9,599 PA - 163 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 214. Too few PA relative to Aaron/Mays.

12. Joe Jackson - 1.45.2 - 1 SLG. title - 5690 PA - 170 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 187. Too few PA to rank higher - Placed in top 5 SLG. all his 9 yrs.; 2nd 3 times, once 3rd, 2 4ths, 2 5ths.

13. Stan Musial- 137.1 - 6 SLG. Titles - 12,712 PA - 159 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 168.

14. Tris Speaker - 134.3 - 1 SLG. Title - 11,988 PA - 158 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 163.

15. Nap Lajoie - 133.9 - 4 SLG. Titles - 10,460 PA - 150 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 159

16. Mike Schmidt - 133.6 - 5 SLG. Titles - 10, 062 PA - 147 OPS+ - Rel. ISO - 205.

17. Hank Greenberg - 1.44.3 - 1 SLG. Title - 6,096 - 158 OPS+. Lost 4.5 seasons to WWII. Age 30-34. Out of game by age 36 spared him his decline phase.

18. Joe DiMaggio - 142.9 - 2 SLG. Titles - 7,671 PA - 155 OPS+. His numbers appear worse due to Yankee Stadium, but better due to lack of decline phase. Lost 3 prime seasons to WWII.

19. Dan Brouthers - 1.40.6 - 7 SLG. Titles - 7,658 PA - 170 OPS+. Too few PA to rank higher.

20. Ed Delahanty - 1.33.5 - 5 SLB. Titles - 8,389 PA - 152 OPS+. Too few PA to rank higher.

Sluggers such as Greenberg, McGwire, DiMaggio, Mize and Brouthers all had PA fewer than 7,700. Honorable Mentions to Richie Allen, Frank Thomas.

My Slate of Candidates for 32nd Greatest Hitter:

1. Sam Crawford
2. Cap Anson
3. Harry Heilmann
4. George Brett
5. Rickey Henderson

Honorable Mentions:

Eddie Mathews
Willie McCovey
Dick Allen
Harmon Killebrew
Mark McGwire

Might I persuade any of you guys to consider voting in our other polls?

71th Greatest Player

40th Greatest Pitcher

Wagner/Mays?

I would consider it a great favor if you did.

George Brett
Chipper Jones
Dick Allen
Gary Sheffield
Edgar Martinez

Harry Heilmann
Eddie Matthews
George Brett
Dick Allen
Edgar Martinez

Roger Connor
Sam Crawford
Wade Boggs
Willie McCovey
Pete Browning

[BigRon]

About 20 spots too high for Gwynn, in my opinion. Great great contact hitter but not nearly enough power to put him this high. Oh well....

1. Eddie Mathews
2. Mark McGwire
3. Dan Brouthers
4. Harmon Killebrew
5. George Brett

6. Jim Thome
7. Willie McCovey
8. Dick Allen
9. Gary Sheffield
10. Sam Crawford

On the horizon- E. Martinez, Heilmann, Stargell, maybe Boggs, maybe....

[AstrosFan]

Welp, I've got

McGwire
Thome
Mathews
Heilmann
Martinez

Allen
Connor
Jones
