Greatest of All-Time

Who is the greatest living baseball player? I was watching Mike and Mike in the Morning last week and they were discussing this topic. I thought I would chime in with my ideas. The first person that comes to my mind is Barry Bonds.* In the entire history of the sport the man is 1st in home runs and walks, 4th in R.B.I.'s, 3rd in runs, has 7 mvp's, is a 14 time All-star, and has 8 gold golves. Of course there is a rather large asterik that comes with him. Because of this it's hard to put him at the top of the list.

The man that would probally get my vote is Willie Mays. While I never got to see him play his stats are pretty amazing. He made the all-star game in 1954 and every one after until 1973. He's 4th in home runs and 10th in RBI's and I don't believe he was ever accused of using steroids. There are a lot of other I thought about but rather than listing off the stats of these other great players I thought I would make up my greatest living team. I would love some comments on players I missed or whether you agree or disagree with the players I did make.
