The most all-time greats at a single position active at the same time
Hank Aaron, Frank Robinson, Al Kaline and Roberto Clemente were all exact contemporaries, overlapping for al but a couple years at the beginning and end of their careers. From 1956 through 1972, all of them were active. All 4 of these guys are in the top 10 of any reasonable all-time RF position list. Pretty incredible for Clemente or Kaline to be merely the fourth best guy at their position. From 1969-1972, Reggie Jackson overlaps as well for a fifth guy in RF, who might be in the top 10.
Is there a greater concentration of all-time greats at a single position at the same time in baseball history? Gehrig, Foxx, Greenberg, Terry and Sisler are overlapped in 1930, but history has not been kind to Terry and Sisler and they are usually not catalogued as highly today as they were in their own time.
