Dave Concepción????
What about Ty Cobb?
Ted Williams?
Ruth could pitch and hit and played his first few years in the dead ball era
As much as I'm not a baseball fan I don't know how to measure players from different era's?
What about Bob Gibson?
Walter Johnson?
Jim Palmer?
Whitey Ford?
Cy Young?
Also I think another mark of a great player is stepping up in the post season and carrying or at least leading your team to a ring.
Think Reggie Jackson - Mr. October
Bonds is great, barring injury will most likely hit over 800 home runs and will be a first ballot hall of famer
Best to ever play? I don't know how to measure that

Dave Concepcion is a stretch, even though he holds many records for an infielder. There were a lot of legends on that Big Red Machine. Ive met Joe Morgan, actually had a sit down conersation with him. Talk about a brilliant baseball mind.
I would have to put Barry Larkin way above Davey C, even on the best Reds ever list. 20 years with a career BA of .297, plus outside of ozzie smith, the best shortstop career.
Nobody mentioned Tony Gwynn? Orlando Cepeda? Mike Schmidt? Don Mattingly?
even for now.. bonds the best EVER? i think derek jeter is an all around better ballplayer than he is, jeter is a throwback. Andruw Jones is a phenominal player.
