    Honestly, lower than I thought he would be.

    Am I the only one who thought Ripken was too high at 31?

    If Walter Johnson isn't the top pitcher, I'm burning Bristol the fuck down.

    They ranked Jeter 38th. Maybe they are waiting to see what he does the rest of his career, but that seems low. He should definitely be ahead of Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, Griffey, Ripkin, and Bench.

    Who is left?

    Clemens? Maddux? Cy Young? Tom Seaver? Is Randy Johnson actually left?

    The game has evolved so much since then. Big Train's fastball probably topped out in the high 80s. Best pitcher of the 1st half of the 20th century, sure, but I would put Clemens #1.

    Thome behind Sosa is indefensible.

    Maybe they mistook Steve Carlton for Pete Alexander, I could see where Carlton would be 50 and Alexander 26. I probably would have Carlton in the 60's and Alexander in the top 25.

    Old Hoss is the man right now, it's between him and the Iron Sheilk for my fave Twitterer.

    So is A-Rod the only active player in the top 25 or am I forgetting someone?
