My biggest take-away from that poll is that Johnny Bench is REALLY underrated.

Greatest Living player
There is only ONE player on this list that I believe the vast majority of baseball people would agree was the best EVER at his position.
Ricky is not the best outfielder ever, Jeter is not the best shortstop ever Koufax is not the best pitcher ever, etc. Only Mike Schmidt is almost universally thought of as the greatest third baseman of all time. That has to count for something when there are only 9 or 11 ( Relief pitcher and DH) greatest of all time by position. And Schmitty is the only one still breathing. Bench is a close second but check out Yogi's records/stats/awards/rings!
