Over the past 145 years of Major League Baseball, there have been some truly impressive players. Let us continue our look at the top 100 players in MLB history, as we continue to count down through the greatest of the greats.

We have now reached the halfway point in our countdown of the 100 greatest players in MLB history. After this, the fifth installment of the best that baseball has to offer, the top 50 players will be left. However, that is not to say that these players, making up the next tier, are without merit.

These players, stretching back from the early days of professional baseball through to the modern day, have been truly brilliant. Each player is either in the Hall of Fame or very well could find themselves enshrined in Cooperstown when they become eligible. For the one player still on the ballot but not enshrined, his resume still lands him amongst the best to ever step on the diamond.

Out of the 18,663 players in major league history, we are now down to the 60 best to ever lace up the cleats and set foot on the diamond. So, without further ado, let us continue the countdown, and get to this week’s installment of the greatest players ever in MLB history.
