Who is the greatest player of the Pre-War Era?

Overall, factoring everything, I have to say PETE ROSE would be the royal flush of all picks. I need not mention his stats, they are obviously epic. Best in recorded baseball history. He played nearly every position, and was captain of the only team to ever be compared with the 1927 Yankees, the 75 Reds.
But, as an overall American icon, I must mention Teddy Williams.

Seriously, the Reds are the only team compared to the Yankees. I've watched baseball since the mid-sixties. The only team comparable to the "27 Yanks is the 1998 Yankees.
The Reds did have a great team, but Rose was the third best player on that team (after Joe Morgan and Johhny Bench).
And if you think Rose's stats are the best in history, I think you should expand your view of history.
