Last week I posted the ALL-TIME GREATEST PLAYERS (and haphazardly misspelled several names--SORRY!)  This week, it's time for the greatest PEAK players. I evaluated the following players on 4 consectutive seasons which constituted their "prime" or "peak" years.  (3 was too few; 5 seemed to many--so I settled for 4).  Sources, as usual, include Total Baseball 1993 and my own (biased) opinions. Here goes, feel free to comment.   1.  Ted Williams (includes season after war)--missed actual peak years  2.  Babe Ruth  3.  Walter Johnson  4.  Mickey Mantle  5.  Mike Schmidt  (actual peak year shortened by strike)  6.  Barrry Bonds  (currently at peak)  7.  Honus Wagner  8.  Ty Cobb  9.  Tris Speaker 10.

Hank Aaron 30.  Stan Musial 31.  Joe Jackson 32.  Wade Boggs 33.  Charlie Gehringer 34.  Ernie Banks 35.  Bob Gibson 36.  Carl Hubbell 37.  Robin Yount 38.  Rod Carew 39.  Chuck Klein 40.  Willie McCovey 41.  Frank Robinson 42.  Tom Seaver 43.  Roger Clemens  (arguably, still in peak) 44.  Mel Ott 45.  Frank Baker 46.  Nap Lajoie  (peak came in suspect league) 47.  Dizzy Trout 48.  George Brett 49.  Mordecai Brown 50.  Ryne Sandberg  1B  Peak  1) Gehrig  2) Foxx  3) Sisler  4) McCovey  5) Greenberg  6) Frank Thomas (projected--sorry)  7) Dick Allen  8) Johnny Mize  9) Eddie Murray (yes, Mr.Consistency had a peak) 10) Bill Terry  2B  1) Morgan  2) J.Robinson  3) Collins  4) Hornsby   5) Gehringer  6) Carew (treated as a 2B, even though played 1B)  7) Sandberg  8) Bobby Grich  9) Nap Lajoie 10) Bill Herman, Mazeroski (tough call)  3B)  1) Schmidt  2) Boggs  3) F.Baker  4) Brett  5) Ed Mathews  6) Ron Santo  7) Harland Clift  8) Ken Boyer  9) Buddy Bell 10) Darrell Evans  SS  1) Wagner  2) Ripken  3) Banks  4) Yount  5) John Lloyd (estimated)  6) Arky Vaughan  7) Barry Larkin  (still in peak?)  8) Lou Boudreau  9) Ozzie Smith 10) Joe Sewell  LF  1) Williams  2) Ba.Bonds  3) Raines  4) Henderson (actually had 2 peaks; 80-83 & 83-86)  5) Yastrzemski  6) Musial  7) J.Jackson  8) Ralph Kiner  9) Al Simmons 10) George Foster 11) Willie Stargell  CF  1) Mantle  2) Cobb  3) Speaker  4) Mays  5) DiMaggio  6) Oscar Charleston (again, estimated)  7) Duke Snider  8) Ken Griffey Jr.  (personal assumption)  9) Kirby Puckett 10) Richie Ashburn 11) Dale Murphy (strike season?)  RF  1) Ruth  2) Aaron  3) Klein  4) F.Robinson  5) Ott  6) Roberto Clemente  7) Tony Gwynn  8) Dave Parker  9) Reggie Jackson 10) Harry Heilmann 11) Jose Canseco 12) Darryl Strawberry   C  1) Josh Gibson (estimated)  2) Mickey Cochrane  3) Gary Carter  4) Johnny Bench  5) Roy Campanella  6) Yogi Berra  7) Bill Dickey  8) Gabby Hartnett  9) Elston Howard 10) Ted Simmons 11) Joe Torre   P  1) W.Johnson  2) Grove  3) Koufax  4) Walsh  5) Mathewson  6) Alexander  7) Young  8) Gibson  9) Hubbell 10) Seaver 11) Clemens 12) Satchel Paige (estimated) 13) D.Trout 14) Juan Marichal 15) Mordecai Brown 16) Joe Wood 17) Dave Steib 18) Jim Palmer 19) Bob Lemon 20) Fergie Jenkins   RP  1) Who cares?   I hope there are some surprises here: Raines above Muisial?  Carter above  Bench?  Ripken above Banks?  Bonds above Mays? Check the numbers of each player in comparison to the numbers of the rest of the players that year(s), and you'll see that I'm fairly close with this ranking system (which is primarily based on Total Player Rating) for four consecutive years.
