Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Stan Musial and Barry Bonds make the S tier of the greatest National Leaguers, which leaves Schmidt, Wagner and Hornsby in A. Pete Rose finished with 4,256 hits and sits in D next to Johnny Bench of the Reds, a tier below Clayton Kershaw.

Number 24 belongs to Willie Mays first, with 660 homers, 12 Gold Gloves and two MVPs, and Rickey Henderson is second. Early Wynn is the only pitcher, Tony Pérez closes it out for the Reds, and Barry Bonds is fifth after two NL MVPs in Pittsburgh.

Stan Musial hit .351 with a 1.034 OPS and a .422 on base percentage for the Cardinals in 1957, and the NL MVP went to Hank Aaron, who hit 44 home runs with 132 RBI for the Braves. Milwaukee won the pennant that year. Who gets your vote?

Cap Anson's 3,435 hits put him third among first basemen, so a player who last took the field in 1897 is still ahead of Albert Pujols at 3,384. Pete Rose leads at 4,256, and Eddie Murray of the Orioles is fifth at 3,255.

Quite the celebration for Rasmus Ristolainen after scoring the overtime goal for the #Sabres on this day in 2018 (November 8, 2018) against the #Canadiens. #LetsGoBuffalo

Mike Schmidt tops this Phillies pyramid with 548 home runs and three MVPs, and the row below him belongs to two pitchers, Steve Carlton and Robin Roberts. Grover Alexander is down on the fourth row despite 33 wins and a 1.55 ERA in 1916, and he has the best case to move up.

At 162.8 WAR, Barry Bonds leads the NL All-Time Dream Team from left field, 6.6 ahead of Willie Mays, and both are pictured in Giants caps. Johnny Bench is the catcher at 75.1, the lowest of the starters. Does Alexander at 119.9 beat Koufax, Gibson and Maddux?

Sandy Alcantara won the 2022 NL Cy Young and sits in the S tier of the greatest Marlins pitchers with Josh Johnson, Dontrelle Willis and Kevin Brown. Josh Beckett is in A next to A.J. Burnett, and 1997 World Series MVP Livan Hernandez is down in D. Where would you move Beckett?

Juan Soto sits in the C tier among the greatest players since 2015, two tiers below Jose Ramirez, Francisco Lindor and Freddie Freeman. Betts, Trout, Judge and Ohtani hold S, and Soto is pictured in a Nationals cap next to Altuve of the Astros. Where would you move Soto?

Only one RBI separates Ken Griffey Jr. and Rafael Palmeiro since 1950, 1,836 to 1,835 in ninth and tenth. Hank Aaron leads with 2,297, which is 79 more than Albert Pujols and 211 more than Alex Rodriguez. Miguel Cabrera is seventh at 1,881, the only Tiger on it.

Cleveland, Minnesota, Boston and New York were four of the six franchises to have this pitcher, 19 seasons from 1964 to 1982. The longest stop was eight years with the Red Sox from 1971 to 1978. Did you get him before the Yankees years?

Lou Whitaker had 2,369 hits and 244 home runs for the Tigers and got 2.9 percent on his only Hall of Fame ballot in 2001, the biggest shock here. Kenny Lofton got 3.2 percent with 622 steals, and Kevin Brown won 211 games and got 2.1. Which of these ten deserved a longer look?

Lenny Dykstra leads off and Keith Hernandez bats third ahead of Gary Carter on this Mets lineup. Darryl Strawberry is in right and George Foster in left. Bob Ojeda starts, Roger McDowell closes and Ray Knight plays third. Got the season?

Albert Pujols hit 703 home runs and sits in the S tier of sluggers since 2000 with Bonds, Rodriguez and Trout. Aaron Judge hit 62 for the Yankees in 2022 and sits in A, and Shohei Ohtani hit 54 in 2024 and is only in C. Is Trout in S over Betts and Judge a fair call?

I sincerely hope the Flyers claim Emil Andrae off waivers, not only because it'd be a cool story, but also because he'd bring exactly what this team needs on defense right now #LetsGoFlyers thehockeynews.com/nhl/philad…
