I think you need to have one pitcher, one skill position player and one outfielder/first baseman. I would also leave out players from before 1950 (maybe unfairly) and those suspected of PED use. Using these criteria, I would pick:
Tom Seaver (honorable mention Greg Maddux or Steve Carlton)
Mike Schmidt (easy choice)
Willie Mays (honorable mention Ted Williams)
It is really dumbfounding that so many people listed Nolan Ryan.
I like your positional players but one could say that its dumbfounding choosing Seaver over Maddux, Johnson, Martinez, Carlron, Palmer, Koufax, Gibson and a few others. Not hating on Seaver- I live very close to his statue, but there are better.
