See earlier posts on this. I took hitting for power, average, speed and fielding into account. Being good at all of them is what matters. Balance mattered, too. I came up with various measurements for all of these. It would be better to be 10% better than average in all four than 40% better in just one and average in the rest. Where possible and appropriate, stats were adjusted for the league average and park effects. Longevity also mattered in some cases. Mays was first in many cases. If not, he was very close to the top. Here are the earlier studies.
