Yeah, no. Kaline may not have had the greatest stats of all the Tigers (we did have some guy named Ty Cobb), to every living Tiger fan he really is Mr. Tiger for his conduct on and off the field.
Ichiro, possibly the greatest singles hitter ever, and a dynamite right field defender. Someone has to get on base for the power hitters. Ten years in a row with 200 or over hits. And the year singles record.
There's no way that Dawson should be ahead of Kaline, Clemente or Mel Ott. The list is good but the order is suspicious. Putting Winfield ahead of Frank Robinson also is very suspect. Numbers 1 and 2 are fine of course.
Clemente was a five tool player, and very clutch. Maybe the second greatest, defensive outfielder behind Mays. Ichiro, where is he, was one of the toughest outs I'd ever seen, and he was excellent in the field. Not crazy about Winfield or Dawson. Thrilled that you mentioned Al Kaline, maybe the most fundamentally sound outfielder of all time, and the smartest. He was always in the right position for every batter.
Ruth played right field and routinely hit over .320 in his career. Plus first bunch of years as a pitcher. So tell me if you're picking your team Ruth isn't in right field.
Lifetime .330 hitter as I recall. In 1961 world series two records were broken . Most lifetime WS home runs (Mantle, of course with 16 or 17). Other record broken by Whitey Ford, most lifetime consecutive scoreless WS innings pitched, 33. Also a Ruth record. So if you're going to talk about all around greatest player, find someone like Ruth who hit for power, hit for average, an d set pitching records against the best the National League could field.
You are a fool if you think that Clemente ranks ahead of Ruth and Aaron. He was a great fielder and an excellent line drive hitter, but he had half the homeruns that they did, and he never drew walks. Learn the game!
One of the most overrated baseball players ever because he was a legendary human being. Not that he wasn't great -he was - but he wasn't as astounding as his memory has made him seem. The most underrated player on this list is Mel Ott.
You know, I can't believe that, after watching 100's of cubbie games with Billy playing, and I still got it wrong. Maybe because I'm left handed. Thanks for pointing out my mistake,@@Pronzini1
So what, he saved baseball after the Black Sox nearly destroyed it. After Little League I played in the next league up, i.e. Babe Ruth League. Clemente a great fielder and hitter for average, about the same as Ruth's BTW, and great human being. But there's no Roberto Clemente League
+CapAnson12345 if you're going to look at the top right fielders as a whole, you have to look at the entire picture. Ichiro is tied at number two all time for 10 gold gloves in right field, throw in his season hits record in 2004' along with his 10 straight 200 hit seasons, and you've got a hands down top 10 best RF in history.
But who does he replace? 10. Paul Waner was actually extremely similar to Suzuki but drew a LOT more walks, and maybe you could argue it's close with Ichiro's better defense.. but I like offense over defense any day of the week. 9. Mel Ott truthfully should be higher on the list, Suzuki isn't close to Ott. 8. Al Kaline - silly. Al Kaline is basically an American League version of Roberto Clemente. 7. Clemente - A better fielder than Suzuki, and a better all around hitter. Not close 6. Andre Dawson - rated way too high to be honest. Dawson was actually Ichiro Suzuki with power but a lower batting average. slightly worse fielder, about the same speed, MUCH more power. 5. Frank Robinson - now you start getting to the guys it's just pointless to even compare Ichiro with. Robinson was obviously a more valuable player 4. Tony Gwynn - Possibly the best contact hitter of all time, although Ichiro might be a somewhat better fielder, but we're talking a difference of maybe 30 errors over the course of their careers. Gwynn did win 5 gold gloves. 3. Dave Winfield - rated too high but a clearly better hitter than Suzuki, won 7 gold gloves although his fielding stats aren't that amazing. 2. Hank Aaron - no point in comparing 1. Babe Ruth - no point in comparing The only player on the list I'd say Suzuki MIGHT be better than is Paul Waner, and personally I prefer Waner for his better offensive capabilities. Maybe you like Ichiro but the point is it's at least a discussion. BTW.. these aren't the only right fielders better than Ichiro Suzuki.. Dwight Evans, Reggie Jackson, Bobby Abreau, and Larry Walker I'd also rank higher, and Dave Parker and Sammy Sosa were also better for five or six years (until Sosa came off the juice and Parker was slowed by injuries).
A Philistine right field mudball or pudball or ? thrower or a Egyptian ! Babe Ruth (George Herman Ruth) Christobel Torriente Mule Shuttles ( George Suttles) Stan Musial Hank Aaron Nap Lajoie Martin Dihigo Roberto Clemente Tony Gywnn Ted Strong or Ted Page Jesse Barfield Rocky Colavito Bo Jackson Chuck Klein ..........you or me !
Dwight Evans? Started RF every opening day for 18 years for the Red Sox. Guess that happens everyday, right? Yet you put Gwynn in there? All Tony Gwynn ever cared about was Tony Gwynn's BA
Surprised to see Clemente so far down at no. 7. IMO arguably the best player of all time, along with Mays and Aaron. So either Roberto or Hammerin' Hank at no. 1, but no way no. 7.
IMHO, Roberto Clemente is probably the greatest fielding right fielder in the modern era with the all-time greatest arm; maybe of all time. But as great an all-round player as he was, he does not compare as a overall power hitter to Henry Aaron and the Babe, and Frank Robinson. This is coming from a lifelong Clemente fan from back in the day. No player ever meant more to me than he did.
Most of the time that I saw Hank Aaron play. He played leftfield. So he's to me was no where better than Roberto Clemente. Nobody played right field better. Who made this list.
Al Kaline was so amazing that they named a battery after him!
Yeah, no. Kaline may not have had the greatest stats of all the Tigers (we did have some guy named Ty Cobb), to every living Tiger fan he really is Mr. Tiger for his conduct on and off the field.
I only watched far enough to make sure Al Kaline got the recognition he deserved. Greatest Tiger of them all.
Ichiro, possibly the greatest singles hitter ever, and a dynamite right field defender. Someone has to get on base for the power hitters. Ten years in a row with 200 or over hits. And the year singles record.
And most hits ever in a season...
There's no way that Dawson should be ahead of Kaline, Clemente or Mel Ott. The list is good but the order is suspicious. Putting Winfield ahead of Frank Robinson also is very suspect.
Numbers 1 and 2 are fine of course.
Dave Winfield ahead of Robinson, Clemente, Ichiro? This is some kind of joke, right?
The great, #149 all-time WAR, #15 among RF, Dave Winfield? The one behind non-HOF Dwight Evans and Reggie Smith? In the #3 slot? Yeah, must be.
It is a joke. LOL!
Winfield and Dawson are WAY too high.
Clemente at 7??? naaahhh
Clemente is the clear #1 playing in the field, and I don’t anyone but Ruth and Aaron making it up in the batter’s box.
Dave Winfield over Frank Robinson and Clemente! No way! And Andre Dawson is too high and probably not on the top 10.
George Steinbrenner said he traded Mr. October (Jackson) for Mr. May (Winfield).
Clemente was a five tool player, and very clutch. Maybe the second greatest, defensive outfielder behind Mays. Ichiro, where is he, was one of the toughest outs I'd ever seen, and he was excellent in the field. Not crazy about Winfield or Dawson. Thrilled that you mentioned Al Kaline, maybe the most fundamentally sound outfielder of all time, and the smartest. He was always in the right position for every batter.
Not a great HR hhitter.
Missed Rocky colavito
Good list. Could quibble with the order. Did you miss Ichiro or did I?
Good job don't know Waner I think I would put Ichiro on the list. My personal favorite is Dawson. If not for 12 knee surgeries he might be 3 or 4 .
One of the Waner bros from old days. All time pirate. Great fielder and lifetime. 324 hitter
Ruth played right field and routinely hit over .320 in his career. Plus first bunch of years as a pitcher. So tell me if you're picking your team Ruth isn't in right field.
Lifetime .330 hitter as I recall. In 1961 world series two records were broken . Most lifetime WS home runs (Mantle, of course with 16 or 17).

So if you're going to talk about all around greatest player, find someone like Ruth who hit for power, hit for average, an d set pitching records against the best the National League could field.
@@MichaelGibbons-uk2mc according to people who were around when Ruth played, he was also an excellent fielder with a strong arm
Might move Clemente up more
Clemente by far is the best ever . Clemente was the best fielding and throwing player. Great hitter and superb human being.
Ruth
You are a fool if you think that Clemente ranks ahead of Ruth and Aaron. He was a great fielder and an excellent line drive hitter, but he had half the homeruns that they did, and he never drew walks. Learn the game!
Amen.
kaline was a better defensive player than clemente, and had a better arm
One of the most overrated baseball players ever because he was a legendary human being. Not that he wasn't great -he was - but he wasn't as astounding as his memory has made him seem. The most underrated player on this list is Mel Ott.
pretty good list but, I have Robinson #3 Winfield #4 Dawson #5 AND Gwynn #6 Also you can make a good case for Aaron #1
Over the Babe? Nope.
1. Aaron
2. Clemente
3. Robinson.
Past that it's arguable.
I thought Arron was a LEFT fielder?
What about Ichiro?
Clemente, easily.
Pretty good list…. Wasn’t Barry Bonds a right fielder?
Left fielder
Robinson and Clemente should be 3 and 4
Clemente at number seven?
Ichiro not even on the list?
Ichiro???
Big mistake not including Ichiro.
Winfield? Gwynn? Dawson? I don't think so.
Roberto Clemente top 5 for sure. Dave Winfield - top 10 - not top 5. In fact, you can put Roberto Clemente at No. 3 and Winfield at No. 7...
If Billy Williams didn't make the top ten then he must be number 11 or 12.
Billy Williams played left field
You know, I can't believe that, after watching 100's of cubbie games with Billy playing, and I still got it wrong. Maybe because I'm left handed. Thanks for pointing out my mistake,@@Pronzini1
Bogus, Clemente is way underrated on this list. Besides, Ruth defensive prowess was not consummate.
So what, he saved baseball after the Black Sox nearly destroyed it. After Little League I played in the next league up, i.e. Babe Ruth League. Clemente a great fielder and hitter for average, about the same as Ruth's BTW, and great human being. But there's no Roberto Clemente League
Ichiro?
+Mark Morris What about him? No power and draws way too few walks.

A Philistine right field mudball or pudball or ? thrower or a Egyptian !
Babe Ruth (George Herman Ruth)
Christobel Torriente
Mule Shuttles ( George Suttles)
Stan Musial
Hank Aaron
Nap Lajoie
Martin Dihigo
Roberto Clemente
Tony Gywnn
Ted Strong or Ted Page
Jesse Barfield
Rocky Colavito
Bo Jackson
Chuck Klein
..........you or me !
And Paul Waner and his superior !
Jimmie Fox too and it could be anyone else too..!
At least couple of those guys weren't right fielders. Lajoie was 2 base. Bo was left fielder.
Defensive was not important in your rating.
Clemente is 1.... who made this list lol😂
Mel Ott at only 9? Every stat is subjective but short of Ruth, Aaron and Musial, he would have a WAR above everyone else.
Dawson and Winfield way too high. Great players but never better than Clemente.
Roberto Clemente is ranked too low
Very bad list you need help.
Dwight Evans? Started RF every opening day for 18 years for the Red Sox. Guess that happens everyday, right? Yet you put Gwynn in there? All Tony Gwynn ever cared about was Tony Gwynn's BA
Surprised to see Clemente so far down at no. 7. IMO arguably the best player of all time, along with Mays and Aaron. So either Roberto or Hammerin' Hank at no. 1, but no way no. 7.
this is probably your worst one
Joke
Roberto Clemente is the best right fielder that ever lived.
You need to expand your horizons.
@@Mister8224 way to reply 5 years later mate. And he still the best right fielder. 12 Gold gloves. Gimme someone else better!!!
@@Sam-u-L-Blax-un Good to know you're still around.
@@Mister8224 likewise bruv
Ruth
Clemente is truly the greatest all around right fielder
Bull
Weak home runs.
IMHO, Roberto Clemente is probably the greatest fielding right fielder in the modern era with the all-time greatest arm; maybe of all time.
But as great an all-round player as he was, he does not compare as a overall power hitter to Henry Aaron and the Babe, and Frank Robinson. This is coming from a lifelong Clemente fan from back in the day. No player ever meant more to me than he did.
Who writes this crap! Dave Parker beats half these guys, not to mention Clemente was #1
Clemente at only number 7!?? That's a travesty!
Most of the time that I saw Hank Aaron play. He played leftfield. So he's to me was no where better than Roberto Clemente. Nobody played right field better. Who made this list.
Clemente had slight edge as hitter, but no way he surpassed AL Kaline in the field. He was MAGICAL!
