Default Most Overrated Baseball Players of All-Time

Saw someone list Cal Ripken as one of the most important players of all-time, which was interesting, since I've always viewed him as someone whose consistency allowed him to be viewed as being much better than he actually was.

Anyway, either he or Nolan Ryan are No. 1 on my list, with Yaz tagging along closely behind.

Thoughts on others?

Did you notice the web address? My friend actually registered this but until recently was using it to test stuff for a website he was creating.

McGwire is the posterboy for being overrated. Guys that tend to be overrated only do one thing exceptionally, while someone who does everything well is underrated.

In Buhner's case, the one thing he did well was be an inept clown.

You're probably too young to remember Toby Kimball.
