No arguments here. The choices are excellent and the order is correct. Being the trivia-hound that I am, I wish you would do more of these lists.

Thanks Gary!
I try to do more of these in the off season (more videos, too).

Like the asterisk next to Barry’s number.
My favorite would be the Griffey’s in this case.
I also like the Gwynns.

I would have put Cecil and Prince ahead of the Boone’s… maybe even ahead of the Griffey’s… but there’s no doubt that the Bonds’ are no. 1 here.
