That is/has been the greatest Major League Baseball player ever?
I just changed my mind concerning this the other day, when I calculated the value in wins for situational ("clutch") striking throughout a career.

Infant Ruth loses 7 success (and perhaps more) off his Wins Above Substitute when you make this modification. [1] He hit a lot of homers that were useless because the Yankees had currently clinched the game ... as well as he was facing not a modern-day reducer, yet a person who had not been excellent.
Ted Williams loses 3 wins.
But another person in this discussion obtains 10 success.

This lowers the gap in between Ruth and also the other two in my Hall Merit metric. And also it got much more challenging to set up overpriced WAR numbers around 1940, and afterwards once again at development. Simply how much harder? That's mosting likely to take more study. [2] But I highly believe that ...
The best baseball player of all time is Willie Mays.
[1] I originally had it as 16, but that's because b-Ref does not note their Win Possibility Included numbers as partial! The 7 wins remains in the games they have play-by-play for, making use of FanGraph's methodology, which is a bit imprecise however certainly better than nothing.
[2] It's not such as the spread of HW ratings is enhanced across the board, so that more gamers receive a hall-worthy score (everybody above 64 that played prior to growth remains in the Hall, and just Sherry Magee, Charlie Keller, as well as Jimmy Sheckard are missing from the 18 men from 56 to 64). It's just that the leaders are all way over 100 instead of remaining in the 89-- 90 range.
