if HOF started today - First Five

Posted By: steve

Babe Ruth
Ty Cobb
Walter Johnson
Willie Mays
Lefty Grove

Ruth, Cobb & Johnson are easy choices. The other two - Mays because of both longevity and position, ie. centerfield. Grove - pitching wins championships. Honus maybe #5a. Had Aaron been a centerfielder, then yes. No rings for Teddy. Gehrig played easy position, not necessarily his fault. Ryan gave up too many walks. Koufax career too short. Then there is Satchel, no way to really tell.

Steve.
