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.
