A-Rod and the all-time MLB leaders in RBI
22 seasons, 1951-73
Considered by many to be the greatest player of all-time, Willie Mays was the original five-tool player. He stole as many as 40 bases in a season, smacked a career-high of 52 home runs, had a career .302 average, and won 11 Gold Gloves awards as the centerfielder for the New York and San Francisco Giants. He retired in 1973 after helping the Mets reach the World Series and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1979. Credit: AP
