Top 5 - Baseball Players from Tennessee

Here are who I consider the top 5 baseball players from Tennessee.

1. Todd Helton - so far a career batting average of .330 with 5 All-Star appearences, 3 Gold Gloves and 1 batting title
2. Bob Caruthers - 218 career wins, .688 career winning percentage and TWICE won 40 games in a season
3. Steve Finley - one of only 6 players in baseball history with over 300 HR and 300 stolen bases
4. Vida Pinson - 4-time All-Star outfielder who twice lead the NL in hits
5. Ben Chapman - 4-time All-Star who lead the AL 4-times in stolen bases

The pickings are so slim for Tennessee that Phil Garner almost made the list. Caruthers looks like a very interesting character who would make a great subject for a book.
