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.)
Can Votto be called the Canadian bear of walks?
