The above list does have some players stats not entered. The reason for this is they have less then A)300 Batting average
B)3000 Hits
C)500 home runs
D)500 Stolen bases
E)400 Saves.
My list? I am going to pick my 7, I will also put the same 7 up to vote on.If you agree then awesome..
If you do not agree,Leave a comment stating why.
This is 1 of those things everyone has a different take on..
As follows,
1)Craig Biggio
2)Barry Bonds
3)Edgar Martinez
4)Mike Piazza
5)Sammy Sosa
6)Lee Smith
7)Kenny Lofton
Yes,I voted for Bonds and Sosa, But look at the numbers Before AND after the Steroid Era,Sosa was starting to get his swing at least 3 season before his huge years.
Bonds has always been a natural hitter. He was a first ballot Hall Of Famer before and after the whole steroid era.No other player has put the numbers Bonds did his entire career.
So there you have it,I am sure this will lead to debate. This is something every baseball fan has an opinion on, And that is what makes conversations like these great!

I would only vote for four of those players, disqualifying several with Hall quality numbers for various reasons.
1) Craig Biggio
(Only because he reached 3,000 hits. 2,999 and no vote.)
2) Barry Bonds
Hall of Famer before the allegations.
3) Roger Clemens
See Bonds, Barry
4) Dale Murphy
Add Piazza to that as well, my mistake.
I still say Sosa,Even with the steroid accusations, Showed numbers that stayed the raised, and stayed the same till the tail end of his career.. Bonds gets in just for being a 400/400 member.. Those steals are honestly from the"pre roid" time.. The MVP's are hard not to make a case for him as well..
