I like the info above...ironically, before seeing the list, I had the following as my top 6:
<1> Bonds
<2> Mays
<3> Aaron
<4> R. Henderson
<5> A. Rod
<6> Miguel Cabrera
Not sure why Miggy hasn't come up at all, but I think his early stats speak for themselves. And with respect to Rickey "Man of Steal" Henderson, how does someone with that much speed and base-stealing ability end up having the RECORD for most walks of all time (pre-Bonds)? That, to me, is one of the most mind-boggling stats ever. He's certainly the greatest lead-off hitter of all time (at least in my book).
