Ted Williams Top 20 Hitters List

Caution: Corny baseball post.

The first list I ever made (when I was 8 or 9) was loosely based on an article I read in Baseball Digest after Ted Williams released his famous Top 20 Hitters list, based on his own secret formula. I figured I may as well post it here. He did not want to list himself due to his own modestly, but it is rumored that his formula put himself second after Ruth. (parentheses is where I have them ranked)

20. Ralph Kiner (35)
19. Mike Schmidt (21)
18. Frank Robinson (13)
17. Harry Heilmann (24)
16. Mel Ott (14)
15. Johnny Mize (18)
14. Al Simmons (33)
13. Tris Speaker (9)
12. Mickey Mantle (6)
11. Hank Greenberg (26)
10. Willie Mays (12)
9. Hank Aaron (10)
8. Joe Jackson (17)
7. Stan Musial (8)
6. Ty Cobb (3)
5. Joe DiMaggio (20)
4. Rogers Hornsby (4)
3. Jimmie Foxx (7)
2. Lou Gehrig (5)
1. Babe Ruth (1)
