From: Will in New Haven on 6 Dec 2009 18:08 Ted Williams, in 1994, listed the twenty greatest hitters, in his opinion, of all time. Here is the list: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/legendary/lited20.shtml Obviously, he meant best batters and not greatest hitters as that is an objective question with an easy answer. However, it could form the basis for a best batters discussion. -- Will in New Haven Pete Rose, the greatest hitter ever because he had the most Hits, will not be admitted to the Hall of Fame while he is alive.

Makes sense. Did you really say "I have no arguments, no logic, no brains, all I have to offer are insults. Please put Pete in the Hall or I will wave my private parts at your auntie. and taunt you again." Ted Williams really called Pete Rose a banjo hitter. I didn't make that up. He said some good thing about him also but "banjo hitter" and the kind of all-time great player you say you think Pete Rose is don't fit together very well. And it doesn't matter. If Pete Rose really were an all-time top-twenty- five great baseball player it would not get him into the HoF. His baseball career, even though it was not as good as you make it out to be, was _obviously_ good enough to get him into the Hall. He isn't in because he _agreed_ to a lifetime ban for doing intensely stupid things. Then the lifetime ban was connected to his eligibility for the Hall, which it shouldn't have been. However, he has said he won't _accept_ nomination to the Hall as long as he is banned, so removing the Pete Rose rule would do no good. The lifetime ban has a finite liffe. He will get in when he is dead. You have no answer to this. And you will prove it by being insulting once again. -- Will in New Haven Pete Rose, the greatest hitter because he has the most Hits, will not get into the Hall of Fame while he's alive.
