5. Ruth, even though he also played for other teams.
He spent what 5 or 6 years with the Sox and Braves, I think? Why Ruth? Both his awesome hitting and excellent pitching. We'll never see that again.

6. Ruth.
Lou, Joe, Mick and Reggie were great, but the Babe is the gold standard.

13. Babe Ruth.
Before he set a record for home runs that stood until Hank Aaron broke it in 1974, he set a record for scoreless innings pitched in the World Series that stood until Whitey Ford broke it in 1961.

He held the pitching record longer.

14. Gehrig, just because of his story.
Ruth was more famous.
