Here are some of what I think are the greatest players. Some people who I think are the best are Frank Thomas, Alex Rodriguez, Pedro Martinez, Babe Ruth, Nomar Garciaparra, Derek Jeter, and Cal Ripken Jr |
|
Frank Thomas is my favorite baseball player. He is getting old but he is still classic. He has about a .300 overall average. He was a great help to the White Sox and batted 3rd while playing for them. |
|
Derek Jeter is not one of my favorites, but he is still a good baseball player. He was named rookie of the year in 1996, and just keeps getting better. |
 |
 |
Alex Rodriguez is an amazing player. He’s fast, he can hit well, and he is a good fielder. Without him, the Yankees wouldn’t be as good. |
|
Pedro Martinez is one of the best pitchers out there. He can strike out his batters easily. He can also throw almost any pitch well, except the knuckleball. |
 |
 |
Nomar Garciaparra is one of the Red Sox’s most loved players, before he got traded to the cubs. He always had a smile on his face and brought the team’s morale up. |
|
Babe Ruth is one of the best baseball players to have ever lived. He set the record for home runs (even though Mark Mguire broke it) , and supposedly made “The Called Shot”, which is when he pointed to center field just before he hit a home run there. His legs did not match his body because they were too short and skinny. |
 |
 |
Cal Ripken did not miss a game for 2,131 consecutive games. He has more than 3,000 hits and more than 400 home runs. He is one of the more serious people about baseball. |
