About the Author
One of my favorite exercises is pick the greatest players of all time at each position. Robert Kuenster’s marvelous book has made that exercise a lot easier. . .or harder. He gave me a lot more to think about.
— Tim Kurkjian, ESPN’s Baseball Tonight
Robert Kuenster’s Baseball’s Top 10: Ranking the best Major League Players by Position is about what it is to be a baseball fan. He rates the top players by positions, re-opening the debates we all have had: Mays vs. Cobb vs. Joe D vs. Mantle in center, or Gehrig vs. Foxx vs. Pujols at first, Williams vs. Musial in left, which opens the audience to modern era questions about Barry Bonds or Manny Ramirez. A lot of fun, a lot to think on, a lot of great players we were fortunate to watch.
— Peter Gammons, three-time National Sportswriter of the Year and Hall of Fame baseball columnist
