There seems to be a hitters biased towards the 30s-60s. And that may be justified. I would submit that for modern players Tony Gwynn should be considered. I do not think he had anything to do with steroids and has the highest career batting average of all "modern" players.
And then an old timer, who as I read stories was amazing is Ed Delhanty. He averages more career hits per year, more runs per year, and more HRs per year than Ty Cobb. He died whole still in his prime but did play 16 years.
Just a couple guys from a different era than Mays/mantle/etc. Who are not HR guys but who hit for average.
