Why Bill Mazeroski ranks #156 in Baseball
Bill Mazeroski ranks 156th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1477th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 84, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 262 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1956–1972 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1958, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world series titles 2, gold gloves 8, all-star selections 10, career double plays turned 1706.
Immediately ahead sits Max Carey on 85.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Johnny Evers on 85.9. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
