15 Best Hitters In Baseball History

9. Joe DiMaggio

While Joe DiMaggio missed three seasons due to World War II, his career numbers were still outstanding. His .325 Batting Average is 36th All Time while his .398 OBP is 56th on the All Time list. Even those sterling numbers do not do him justice as DiMaggio was one of the most feared hitters of his era that was an extremely difficult out. He is noted in the annuals of history for his 56 game hit streak in 1941 that still stands to this day.
