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:
"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you." - Hall of Fame Pitcher Satchel Paige (Paige, Satchel. How To Keep Young. Ebony Magazine. Apr 1971. Page 124.)
Do you remember which Major League baseball player received the most votes during the recent All Century Team elections?
The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR), of which Baseball Almanac is a proud member, has written several great baseball lists which appear on this page.
Ted Williams gave hitting advice and ranked the twenty best hitters ever, but did you know Ty Cobb actually discussed some batting tips with a fellow player?
