5. Walter Johnson

I am very skeptical of any player Post 1980's due to PED's. My list is based on skill, impact on the game and individual records.

I had left Bonds off of my list for obvious reasons. If we ignore the steroid issue he would have been #4 on my list.

That is mitigated by the fact that these players weren't allowed to face the best African-American ball players.

Babe Ruth is the single greatest player of all time, and greatest all around player as well. No one else will ever do what he was able to do on a baseball field. He out hit the entire American League by himself. I don't need to tell anyone about his dominance as a pitcher too. There will never be another player who dominates the game like he did.
