BABE RUTH, CY YOUNG, YAZ, JIMMY FOXX, BOBBY DOERR, TED WILLIAMS, ROGER CLEMENS, and YAZ come immendiately to mind.
As I continually state, MANNY RAMIREZ is being put off as some nobody when in fact he was/is one of the greatest CLUTCH hitters himself for an entire career(not just 3 years like PAPI).
Not to even mention the protection he gives PAPI.

I recall Manny destroying the Red Sox in their playoff series when he was with Cleveland...........I just KNEW the RED SOX could not get him out in a clutch situation. As a Red Sox fan it was painful to watch but even BEFORE this I had great admiration for the guys hitting.
Didn't we have this discussion, I don't know, YESTERDAY? (Or maybe it was the day before.)
Williams, hands down. Particularly if you factor in the time he lost in service of his country.
FISH-- I hear you about Manny. But over the last couple of years, he's failed to produce in the clutch. I can't tell you how many times he's struck out (mostly looking) in critical situations. Very un-Mannylike. And you are correct, the protection that he gives Ortiz is certainly a factor.
Can't argue with the timeliness of Ortiz's hits over the last couple of years. Uncanny.
