This list does not include Sparky Anderson (since he was a manager), Tom Seaver (since he'll always be a Met), Bronson Aroyo (since he'll always be a Red Sock), or Ken Griffey, Jr. (since he's still on my all-time injured reserve list) -- despite my liking them each very much. 

Active players are in bold.   (N.B.: Joey Votto has a viable shot to break well into the top 5 by the time his career comes to an end.)
