Major League Baseball has been a mainstay in the American sports world since it was established back in 1869. Since then baseball has become America’s pastime, a sport that symbolizes the changing of seasons, and one that brings friends and families together. Over the nearly 150 years that the MLB has been around we have seen some of the most talented athletes in the world take the field. Today we are plumbing the depths of history in order to field the ALL TIME GREATEST roster that baseball has ever seen. We picked the greatest players in franchise history for each active MLB team. Batter up!
Boston Red Sox – Ted Williams, LF.
Boston is one of the most storied baseball franchises in existence and you could make a reasonable case for a number of players. However, we chose to go with Ted Williams — one of the greatest hitters who ever lived. Williams’ was the first jersey retired for the Boston Red Sox and he had the highest OBP in baseball history, so we kinda understand it. You won’t need sci-fi contact lens in order to understand this choice.

Baltimore Orioles – Cal Ripken Jr, SS/3B.
He was the Iron Man before Iron Man was a household name. Ripken played in 2,632 straight games during his Hall of Fame career. Ripken is considered one of the best defensive shortstops to ever play the game and his offensive numbers were only a bonus. Yeah, we’ll pass on the discount contact lens. Our eyes see Ripken as the finest O to ever play the game.
