I could have sworn Yaz had already passed. Whoops! My vote is Pete Rose though.

Mariano Rivera?
Really? Ugh The guy averaged 78 innings played per year. He seldom, if ever, entered a game where his team didn't already have a 90% chance of winning. Great at the job he was asked to do, I get it. But come on, if he was so f'ing good how come he sat on the bench for more than 1380 innings each year? Maybe we should add Herb Washington to the poll options.

My vote would go to Mike Schmidt, the greatest 3rd baseman of all-time.

Note - this is not an endorsement of any of these measures and the intent of the OP is not to get into a discussion of the merits of WAR or HOF vote. My only intention is to highlight some other measures of a player's career. So, one way to measure a player's career is to look at their % of HOF votes. Not perfect, but a lot of (at least somewhat) knowledgeable folks voted. Of course, this doesn't include any current players or ones who recently retired. The top 15 living players (1-15):
Rivera Jeter Griffey, Jr Ryan Ripken Brett Gwynn Randy J Maddux Chipper Schmidt Bench Carlton Rickey Yaz Another way to measure a career is by WAR. Here is the top 12 living position players by WAR (and Mays is 3, Aaron 5 and Bench 50): Bonds, #1 overall Arod Rickey Schmidt Albert Yaz Ripken Beltre Boggs Brett Chipper Griffey, Jr And the top living pitchers, by WAR (Koufax is 89, due to his short career): Clemens Maddux Randy Johnosn Blyleven Gaylord Pedro Carlton Ryan Mussina Fergie Schilling Glavine
