Top 100 MLB players of all time - Debating who is too high and too low on our list

Now that our list of the top 100 MLB players of all time has been revealed, it's time to have some fun.

More than 20,000 votes were cast to put together these rankings, from representatives from across ESPN's MLB platforms. Now, we're asking our baseball experts to break down what they saw.

Three of those were the aforementioned greats from the Negro Leagues. There should be more. I don't know that we need more overall representation from that era, but just a better
