If I can throw in post 50's players, these men would all have been around the money in my top 10, fully interchangable with most of the lists created thus far of pre-war. I think we have and do romaticize players from the earliest times in baseball, and that a pure evaluation of their talents against post war players would in the end prove somewhat of a wash.

Musial
Mays
Mantle
Williams
Koufax
Gibson
Rose
Ryan
Clemens
Bonds
Jeter

Honorable mention Ozzie Smith for making one skill set look completely different and extraordinary compared to any time before and after.
