Notes:

-Babe Ruth was both the best left fielder AND right fielder, so I took the better of his two seasons (RF) and awarded LF to the next-best LF or RF of all time of all time, Ted Williams.

-Closers' saves are in parentheses after his name

-The DH slot is awarded to the best OPS+ of any player not already on the team (Cobb), and NOT to the best DH season of all time (Edgar Martinez).

-The strike years of 1981 and 1994 are omitted (Mike Schmidt's 1981 season would otherwise have been the best NL/3B season).

-Yes, Chris Hoiles. Really.
