Only rule: No pitchers. We're talking a combination of batting, fielding, and what they mean/meant to their team?
The first few names for consideration that come to mind are: Cobb, Musial, Rose, DiMaggio....and quite a few more actually.....
Who would you choose?

He could hit for power , avg, and his speed took over games

Hitting (431 HRs, 3184 hits), Fielding (.977 Fielding Percentage)
Infinite influence to his team, the game, and even to people who don't follow baseball. He's the man.
<< <i>Clemente is a good answer , personally always thought Ripken was a tad overrated ( im sure i'll get bashed for that ). . Only 3 years hitting over .300 out of 18 qualifying years >>
such a tough call however.
I also really like Pete Rose.

RIP GURU

No bashing necessary, you're entitled to your opinion, as am I.
I like Musial for this spot too...

If you were to ask me if I owned a team, who would I want in his prime?
(1) J.Robnson (2) Clemente (3) Musial (4) Hornsby
Home runs are overrated.

You need to look at speed first then fielding then obviously batting average.
Cobb, ECollins, Speaker, Wagner, Lajoie, Hornsby, Frisch, Henderson, JRobinson, Clemente, and Gwynn, etc.
in that case it would be fat boy fat boy punk brian "modeto boy" sheradon axtroll by far-hes a damn expert astrophysicist ya knowng:insert middle finger icon here-
