Comparing major league players has always been a popular topic among baseball fans.

Player entries include biographical information, individual achievements, stats, and quotes.

In addition to the top 10, Kuenster includes Honorable Mentions—players who were considered but didn’t make the final list—and Dishonorable Mentions—players who were left off the rankings due to alleged steroid and performance enhancing drug use.
Baseball’s Top 10 features original interviews with some of baseball’s greatest personalities—including players and broadcasters who have since passed, such as Al Lopez, Bob Feller, Stan Musial, Lou Boudreau, Andy Pafko, Ron Santo, Harry Caray and Harry Kalas.
