Who's Better, Who's Best Question Title * 1. This is going to be fun -- or not. Thirty multiple-choice questions and there are no right or wrong answers. It's just how you feel. You can look up players you don't know well if you want, but you do not have to do that. All I'm asking is that you rank the players. Almost all of these questions have five or fewer players to rank. Don't worry about repeat names, it's part of the puzzle.Thank you! I think and hope you'll like and know that you are taking part in the New Baseball 100, a ranking of the 100 best players ever in 100 days, that will launch at The Athletic in January!Here we go, we'll start with first basemen/designated hitters, but be warned: The questions get more and more random as we go. 1 2 3 4 Eddie Murray 1 2 3 4 Jim Thome 1 2 3 4 Frank Thomas 1 2 3 4 Miguel Cabrera OK Question Title * 2.
