Who (in your opinion) were the best C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, LF, CF, RF, P in history, can still be active
C - Carlton Fisk (Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, 1973-1990): Caught the most games in history, played for 27 teams, but never got a ring. Easily one of the more underrated players in history
1B - Lou Gherig (New York Yankees, 1923-1939): The Iron Horse was one of the greatest hitting (and classiest) players. If he hadn't been suddenly struck down by the disease that now carries his name, Cal Ripkin would never have touched his record.
2B - Jackie Robinson (Brooklyn Dodgers, 1947-1956): An effort could be made for Bill Mazeroski, but Jackie achived the equivalent almost of Bills stats in half the time. A true pioneer, and one of the greatest to ever play.
SS - Ozzie Smith (St Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, 1978-1996): The Wizard was one of the slickest, best fielders ever, and wasn't too shabby with the bat either. I would have made a claim for A-Fraud, but he's a 3B now.
3B - Mike Schmidt (Phildelphia Phillies, 1972-1989): Schmidt was one of the most solid sluggers in history, with 548 HRs leading all other 3rd Sackers.
LF - Ted Williams (Boston Red Sox, 1939-1960): The Splindid Splinter was the greatest hitter ever, the only person to hit .400 in the 20th Century, and wrote the book on hitting. if 5 years in the military hadn't occured, he would of been an all-time leader in pretty much every catagory.
CF - Willie Mays (Mew York/San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, 1951-1973): the Say Hey kid was one of the best fielding and hitting CFers ever, and his "Catch" in the 1954 WS is the Greatest Catch ever. A true man.
RF - Babe Ruth (Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Boston Braves, 1914-1935): The Great Bambino truly hit them like no other, and his "Called Shot" in the 1932 WS was the stuff of legends.
P - Walter Johnson (Washington Senators, 1907-1917): He was the dominate pitcher of his era, and he capped his career in the 1926 WS with his only WS championship. His 411 Wins are 2nd alltime, and he did it in less time than Cy Young, the number one man.
