BASEBALL LISTS

Legendary Lists of Baseball Information | Baseball Almanac

Ted Williams once took the time to rank the batters he believed were the twenty best, while Satchel Paige gave fans tips on how to stay young! These two, and several other legendary baseball lists, have been told and retold throughout the years. Preserving those baseball lists is the intent of this research section here on Baseball Almanac.

Humorous baseball lists, instructional baseball lists, rank-oriented baseball lists, and quite a few other memorable baseball lists are here, in the Baseball Almanac Legendary Lists section:
