There was a guy named Reggie Jackson that played there too

Funny thing about the A's, since they moved to Oakland, they have a history of NOT keeping thier best players

Welcome to the joy of being a small-market team in MLB. Basically, you could just as well be called, AAA.5 because you're that last bit of seasoning before LA/Chicago/NY/Bos/ATL pick you up...

6? Rogers Hornsby, Ken Boyer, Red Schoendienst or Dizzy Dean

and let's not forget that Hall of Fame broacaster Bob Uecker won a World Series ring with the '64 Cardinals.

The first baseball game I ever went to was in 1959. My grandfather took me and my brother to a doubleheader, Yankees vs. White Sox. Enos Slaughter was playing for the Yankees then and the only thing I remember was he hit a home run in each game.

5. Joe Cronin

I would have picked Ruth but he is more identifiable as a Yankee.

You aren't including Cy Young?
