Vladimir Guerrero

Vladimir Guerrero seemed like he could hit anything no matter where the pitch was. Guerrero ranks 40th on the all-time home run list with 449 where he’s tied with Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell. Include that with a career slash line of .318/.379/.553 puts together one of the most impressive offensive careers in baseball. Over his 16-year career, he was a nine-time All-Star, eight-time Silver Slugger winner, and took home the 2004 AL MVP as part of the Anaheim Angels.

Other All-Time ranks career for Guerrero:

Hits: 2590 (86th)

Batting Average: .318 (55th) tied with Hall of Famer Arky Vaughan

OPS: .931 (32nd)

RBIs: 1,496 (57th)

Chipper Jones was an eight-time All-Star, won multiple Silver Sluggers, the NL MVP in 1999, and was part of the 1995 World Series winners.

Jones all-time career ranks:
