Lot of talent here. I'm curious why you have Pujols on here but not Cabrera? Nonetheless, I'll go with a favorite -- Lou Gehrig.

Gehrig barely edges out Jimmy Foxx for me.

Its close. Lots of good players.

Henry Louis Gehrig was a beast among beasts.

Pujols put up #s on par with all time greats. If his career ended today, he's in the HOF. If Cabrera's ended today, he's not.

But Inge is a Hall of Famer! hehe....

Speaking of which, I was watching something on Thor on the history channel and they spoke of a King Inge...wonder if they are related. This Inge burnt down a Norse temple or something.

Gehrig-4 Pujols-2 No love for Foxx?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Foxx would have been a close 2nd for me.

 

[spockmaster]

i put pujols, i think when all is said and done he will be the best. cabby is too young still but has a chance to be up there.

 

[kalinecountry]

It's Gehrig,
Take your next picks from Musial, Foxx, Pujols, and Greenberg.
Sisler, Terry, consistency Murray, Mize, sluggers Killebrew, McCovey.
19th century Brouthers, Anson.
There are many to pick from at 1B.

 

[tycobb420]

the rout is on. 9-3 Gehrig.

Gehrig has a better career BA, OBP and OPS. And i can't imagine Pujols will get better. His numbers will start to drop a bit. So not sure how he'll surpass the Ironman.

I am surprised only 2 guys have gotten votes.

Lot of great 1B but one is clearly the best. Now if the vote was your favorite player there would probably be more guys getting vote.
