Why Jimmie Foxx ranks #20 in Baseball
Jimmie Foxx ranks 20th among Baseball athletes on GOAT Rank and 1666th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 96, Longevity 82, Honours 92, Statistics 94. Those categories are normalised against the full Baseball reference universe of 234 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1925–1945 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1932, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career home runs 534, mvp awards 3, career rbis 1922, triple crowns 1.
Immediately ahead sits Pop Lloyd on 90.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Randy Johnson on 90.5. 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.
