Top 5 - Baseball Players from Kentucky

Here are who I consider the top 5 players born in Kentucky.

1. Pee Wee Reese - Hall of Fame shortstop and 10-time All-Star
2. Jim Bunning - Hall of Fame pitcher (I still can't believe Bunning is in the HoF and Luis Tiant is not)
3. Paul Derringer - 223-212 and a 3.46 ERA - 6-time All-Star
4. Travis Fryman - 5-time All-Star (real first name David - I did not know that)
5. (tie) Gus Bell - 4 time All-Star outfielder (tie) Carl Mays - 207-126 and won 2 World Series wth the Red Sox in 1916 and 1918

Just missing the cut - Mike "Gator" Greenwell
