1. Tony Gwynn
2. Wade Boggs
3. Don Mattingly (probably this high because he's my favorite athlete EVER - look at the numbers too, he almost never struck out)
4. George Brett
5. Edgar Martinez
6. Robin Yount
7. Alex Rodriguez
8. Todd Helton
9. Paul Molitor
10. Manny Ramirez

Could also make a case for Bonds, Pujols, Harold Baines, and Will Clark.

ETA: Not sure how the hell I forgot Bonds - I consider myself an avid baseball fan/amateur baseball historian, so I'm not sure what my problem was on that one. I'd probably list him #11 if the list went that far, and the #1 best ballplayer since I've been born. The other guys I just feel like are better natural hitters overall.
