Why Home Run Baker ranks #100 in Baseball
Home Run Baker ranks 100th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1280th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 82, Honours 88, 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 1908–1922 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1913, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world series titles 3, home run titles 4, career hits 1838, career batting average 0.307.
Immediately ahead sits Hugh Duffy on 87.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Luke Appling on 87.8. 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.
