I'd vote for Pete, for a couple of reasons:
  • His relevancy to the sport during the years of the autograph boom,
  • His almost constant presence at shows, casinos and other events,
  • His need for a steady income stream to support his gambling habit.

With that said, I've got a 1966 Topps out to him at a paid signing later this month. Just wanted a signed, vintage (1960s) card of his.

Honorable mention would go to Bob Feller. Never saw a sharpie he didn't like.

If he'd have lived longer, I'd put Babe up there:
