I'll fully admit that this idea is stolen from Joe Posnanski, but screw it, I think it's a cool idea. What Joe did on his Facebook page was take a list of 15 of the greatest baseball players of all time to start the chain. The next person would then post the guy that first came to mind as the next greatest player. Then the next person, and so on and so forth. I'll start it off with the 15 guys Posnanski used. Most are no doubters among the best 10-15 ever, and the others are certainly in the argument.

Hitters:

Babe Ruth
Willie Mays
Mickey Mantle
Hank Aaron
Ty Cobb
Ted Williams
Stan Musial
Honus Wagner
Lou Gehrig
Rogers Hornsby

Pitchers:

Walter Johnson
Cy Young
Pete Alexander
Christy Mathewson
Lefty Grove

OK, your turn. For the record, even those the poll title says Hall of Fame, you do not have to limit yourself to just players in the Hall. You may use active players. For the most part, I'll stay out of it unless things get off the rails. Without further ado, go.
