Willie Mays

Re-read the question.

There's no question to re-read. Mays is alive.

If you meant "active" players, rather than living, then that's what you should've said in the title.

Mankster, is there a dead but active player who would be eligible here?

Ryan Braun is now dead to me. Does that count?
 
Bonds has been retired for several years and is not attempting to make a comeback..Manny Ramirez could be on this list since he is a call-up away from playing for the Cubs.

Bonds is also, last time I checked, living.

We are talking about active ballplayers
 
Bonds.

Also, fun fact: Derek Jeter was never, ever the best active player in baseball during his playing career.

Well, since he's living, I assume he's fairly active.

Active: as in still playing professional baseball
 
My top 5:

1. Mays
2. Bonds
3. Hank Aaron
4. Pete Rose
5. Sandy Koufax

Oh ****. A Manky-NDJ throwdown is brewing!? We've been waiting for this moment for years. This has the potential to be the Ali-Frazier or Hogan-Flair of misguided sports takes.

Where does Ted Williams rank? His frozen head is still technically alive.
