Mantle,Williams or Di Maggio?

[Stejay]

Who do you think is the best out of Ted Williams, Micky Mantle and Joe Di Maggio?

[Stejay]

I think that it is Di Maggio

[Tavish]

DiMaggio is way behind Mantle and Williams. Williams lost prime years to the wars, Mantle lost prime years to numerous injuries. Give me Mantle, not as destructive with the bat (but not far behind) but was a much better all around player.

Di Maggio was the best by a way for me.

I'll stop there, but the list goes on and on. It's really debatable who you put first, Mantle or Teddy, but DiMaggio isn't even top 10 all-time.
