Would have to say Babe Ruth. Not only did he hit 714 home runs, which stood as the major league record for nearly 40 years, but he was a career  .342 hitter with a .474 on base percentage. If that's not enough, he was also one of the best pitchers the game has ever seen with a 94-46 record a 2.28 career ERA and still holds the record for consecutive scoreless innings pitching in the World Series.

If you want to know what a player's stats are, go to \n\nwww.baseball-reference.com \n\nYou'll be able to look up the stats of every player who ever played in the major leagues.\n\nJeter had scored 1,159 runs as of the end of the 2005 season.\n\nYahoo sports will give you the up to date stats of any player this year... Jeter's scored 40 runs so far this year, so that's 1,199 runs scored so far in his career.  That doesn't break any records, it ranks ABOUT 150th or so all time.  Although at that level, many players are pretty tightly bunched together, so scoring 20 or 30  runs can move you up several spaces on the all time list.\n\nSeven players have scored 2,000 or more runs in the major leagues....\n\n1.Rickey Henderson 2,295\n2.Ty Cobb   2,246\n3.Babe Ruth   2,175\n4.Hank Aaron  2,174\n5.Pete Rose  2,165\n6.Barry Bonds  2,078\n7.Willie Mays 2,062\n\nJeter got his 2,000th career hit last week, but that is by no means a record either...it's just one of those 'even/round  numbered' milestones that mean a great deal to ESPN and really no one else.

Actually the Yankees have brought up quite a few first class pitchers over the last 20 years. Most of them pitch/ed for other teams. Drabek for example came up with the Yanks but won 20 games for the Pirates instead. \n\nCurrently  Brandon Claussen and Eric Milton are examples of recent Yankee prospects showing signs of developing into good solid pitchers. \n\nAndy Pettite and Mariano Rivera are two great pitchers the Yanks brought up from the farm system. \n\nThe Yankees while Stienbrenner was suspended built up an impressive farm system in an amazingly short time. Besides Pettite and Rivera the Yanks brought up Jeter, Bernie Williams, Posada, Soriano, Cano, Lowell are some examples. Unfortunately the Yankees keep dumping prospects for washed up overpriced vets. When the Yankees were mostly home grown they were a dynasty. When they went back to trying to buy the WS they suddenly became the most expensive team that could not win a WS again. So many talented Yankee prospects are lost when they do this as well. \n\nSo opportunity is the hardest part for up and coming Yankee pitchers. The Yanks have too little patience with them. They have to produce right out the door but very few great pitchers become effective without a couple years of mediocrity or outright stinking it up in the majors.

Stop getting hitting and get some solid pitching. The problem with pitching for the yankees is there is to much pressure. I have seen many a good pitcher crumble because of the pressure there.

I have not been able to find the top 10 leadoff home run hitters.  I believe the all-time leader is Rickey Henderson with 81 leadoff bombs.  Alfonso Soriano set the record for most leadoff home runs in a season with 13 in 2003.

A "walk-off" home run is a home run hit by the home team in the bottom of the ninth inning or later to seal the win when before the score was a tie or the home team was trailing. Two World Series, out of 102, have ended in a walk-off home run. They are the 1960 Pirates vs. Yankees matchup, which the Pirates won in Game 7 on slick-fielding Hall of Fame second baseman Bill Mazeroski's walk-off solo home run on a pitch by Ralph Terry, and the 1993 Blue Jays vs. Phillies classic, with Joe Carter of the Blue Jays crushing a dramatic home run off closer Mitch 'Wild Thing' Williams. The term was coined by Hall of Fame reliever Dennis Eckersley. The term has come to mean the batter walks off the field after hitting the home run, or the long walk to the dugout by the losing pitcher. There are "walk-off" base hits, but as they are not home runs, they are not spoken as "walk-off" hits that often. More often, they are game-winning hits.

Ichiro Suzuki by a large margin.\nHe's the only hitter with 200 hits in every season since the 2001 season.    He led the majors in 3 of the seasons, with such totals as 242 in 2001 and a whopping 262 in 2004.  He has a total of 1354 hits.  The second most is Juan Pierre with 1182. Albert Pujols is third with 1159 in that time frame.
