Rather than just list the top 30, I went with building a team. 2 at each infield position, five outfielders, 10 pitchers and five wildcards for my top 30 list.
Ruth is my clear #1, I'll list my guys by position:
Catchers
Mickey Cochrane
Josh Gibson
First Basemen
Lou Gehrig
George Sisler
Second Basemen
Rogers Hornsby
Eddie Collins
Shortstops
Honus Wagner
John Henry Lloyd
Third Basemen
Home Run Baker
Judy Johnson
Outfielders
Babe Ruth
Ty Cobb
Tris Speaker
Mel Ott
Oscar Charleston
Pitchers
Kid Nichols
Cy Young
Walter Johnson
Christy Mathewson
Three-Finger Brown (Got to pick the local boy!)
G.C. Alexander
Lefty Grove
Satchel Paige
Martin Dihigo
Victor Starffin
Wildcards
Jimmie Foxx
Nap Lajoie
Cap Anson
Joe Jackson
Charlie Gehringer
Fun exercise. I look forward to the debate.

Reason: Had Ott listed twice. Replaced one of the two with Shoeless Joe
