Year after year, across the league, first base is a position where some of the games biggest bats play. It started in the late 1800s with Cap Anson, Roger Connor, and Dan Brouthers. With Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera on the back side of hall of fame careers, some are calling todays crop of first baseman second rate. When the position has a storied history that includes Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Jeff Bagwell, Willie McCovey, Johnny Mize, and Hank Greenberg expectations are almost impossibly high.

Below is my list of the 100 greatest first basemen of all-time. In direct contrast to catcher’s, many think a first baseman should be judged solely on this ability to hit. Like all positions, I believe both offense and defense are important. These rankings reflect that. If you don’t agree, leave a comment and let me know why.
