    Mays for me. In my opinion, he may be the best overall player to ever play the game.

      Agreed... the guy had it all. Probably the most complete player in baseball history. The only player I could compare to him today talent-wise would be Vlad.

          Cobb (8 OPS+ over 190 - incl.) or Mantle (6 OPS+ over 180 - incl. 206,210, and 223!) were probably the best offensive CF. Speaker and Mays were probably the best overall. If I had to choose between them I would take Speaker. Speaker had better peak years (4 OPS+ over 180) than Mays (1 OPS+ over 180) and went 3-0 in World Series (306 .398 .458), Mays was 1-4 ( .239 .308 .282). They have about the same numbers overall (22 seasons with OPS+'s of 156 and 158) and both were considered elite defenders.
