Posted By: <b>Jimi</b><p>.....being a 4th grade teacher, I gladly handout "old" 1980s and 90s baseball cards to the kids as rewards. Nearly everyday I get, "When are you going to get Babe Ruth or Griffeys in here?" So it appears 10 year old kids know who Babe Ruth is. I'm from Ohio, so maybe that's why the Griffey reference. <br><br>Jimi

Posted By: <b>Mark Evans</b><p>Assuming a poll of "average" adults, thus including mostly non-fans, I think that after Babe Ruth, the answer might well turn on when such poll is conducted because the players named, at least by some, may well be those who are receiving coverage in the mainstream press at the time. So now, for example, the other two receiving most votes could be Jackie Robinson and Barry Bonds. If the poll were conducted at another time, I think you could see DiMaggio, Mantle, Rose, maybe even Joe Jackson. Mark

Posted By: <b>Joe</b><p>A children’s book I found abandoned atop a pay phone in the NYC subway the other day makes a powerful argument for the most recognizable baseball name question. The 24-page booklet titled “World Series Heroes,” was published in 1994 and highlights players like Dave Winfield, Kirk Gibson, and Jack Morris. I’ve inset the “ex libris” upper left. We have no idea whether little Tyler recognized any of the names in the book, but we can reasonably assume he figured that any book of baseball heroes MUST contain the man he depicted on the inside back cover. <br /><br /><img src="http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w150/base_ball2007/ruthtyler.jpg">
