The toughest decision was Aaron or Ruth at DH.
Notice some big omissions: Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Cy Young, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, Reggie Jackson, Yogi Berra, Honus Wagner, Rogers Hornsby, George Brett, Eddie Mathews, Roberto Clemente, Ernie Banks, Ty Cobb, Frank Robinson, Al Kaline, Hank Greenberg, Roger Clemens, et al.
I am a bigger fan of some of those than others. I think guys who just missed are Clemente, Robinson, Jackson, and Brett.
Interested to see other thoughts.
