Today's game has some pretty good On Base Plus Slugging Percentage (OPS) guys too. Albert Pujols, Mike Trout, Miguel Cabrera and Joey Votto rank #15-#18, ahead even of Willie Mays at #29. San Francisco's Lefty O'Doul ranks #25 and isn't even in the Hall of Fame.
Again, all four of today's players will likely drop in the rankings as they go through their decline phase. The top five OPS ever belong to Babe Ruth (1.164), Ted Williams (1.112), Lou Gehrig (1.080), Barry Bonds (1.051) and Jimmie Foxx (1.038). Hank Greenberg (1.017) and Rogers Hornsby (1.010) are also above the 1.000 mark. Manny Ramirez, Mark McGwire and Mickey Mantle complete the top 10.
