	Awesome quiz, no disrespect to Bob Feller and Jack Morris, but I think Tony Gwynn and Tom Glavine should be the 19 and 47's respectively.

	Definitely a good quiz, and not to take anything away from it, but I couldn't imagine guys like Barry Zito, Matt Lawton, Rafael Betancourt and Ugueth Urbina on a list for greatest anything. Working Sadaharu Oh in there was a nice touch.

	Definitely Sadaharu Oh is the man, but he wasn't an MLB player.

	I agree OH was great, but it is kind of a cheap answer. I would argue that Tony Gwynn was a better rep at 19 than Feller, and that Frank Thomas was better for #35. Not because Thomas was necessarily better than Henderson, but Henderson's best years were spent wearing #34. Also, everyone is so quick to give 14 to Rose, but I think Ernie Banks equally deserving.

	Prepare to be bumped, Joe DiMaggio.

	Where is Ken Griffey JR?

	For sure agree about Manny. Great as Oh was, I'd definitely put Ozzie Smith in for 1. Henderson didn't spend any years wearing 34 but I'm guessing that was a typo by Camden (should be 24). Griffey is tricky because he wore 24 (Mays), 30 (Ryan, although Ryan should be 34 in my opinion), 3 (Ruth) and 17 (definitely more deserving than Dean but in 10 years nobody will remember what number he wore for 2 months on the White Sox). Debatable putting Puckett over Fingers for 34. List is also missing JT Snow for 84 and Phil Hughes at 65.

	I also take issue with Ripken over Yastrzemski. Good arguments could be made for Berra and Stargell as well.

	This is the worst quiz ever. Where is Ozzie Smith for #1? Ricky Henderson (even though he played for a number of teams) was #37.

	Um, friggin K-Rod over Johan Santana? WTF?

	dtro:	Oct 24th, 2009 at 21:50 GMT	2 points
	Well Yaz and Ripken both had really long careers that led to a lot of accumulated counting stats. Yaz was a slightly better hitter, but he was a LF and Ripken was a SS for most of his career. Plus he had that whole Iron Man streak thing, which was really important for baseball after the 94 strike. I would give it to Ripken, who if not necessarily a better player, is certainly a more iconic player due to the streak.

	What about Ichiro over Johnson for 51? Johnson is one of the greatest lefty pitchers ever. Ichiro is great, but I would rank Johnson as better.

	Pujols is over DiMaggio to me

	warrbaseball1:	Jan 24th, 2010 at 15:13 GMT	1 point
	Not that I was going to guess him anyway but Scott Schoeneweis is misspelled. Santana should be over K-Rod for 57, and Oh never played in the MLB so that spot should belong to Ozzie.
