Well, Cal isn't close to being the #1 SS of all time, but a lot of people think of him as such.
Nolan Ryan is, in all likelihood, the most overrated player of all time.

damnit jack, the last time we discussed this basic topic, you argued to the death that cal wasnt overrated, wtf?

It depends on the audience. Cal's a divisive figure and some people will vastly overrate him, while others will underrate him. He's mostly overrated because, let's be honest, how many people have heard of Honus Wagner and Arky Vaughan?
Cal was a very good shortstop, probably... I dunno, no lower than #6 all time SS, probably #3. A lot of people tend to look at his career numbers and underrate them, not taking into account that he was a shortstop, and shortstops still can't hit worth a damn.
