When looking at the all time hits totals leaders I noticed that long time Oriole First Baseman Eddie Murray ranks 12th.  Wow!  I had no idea his career totals were so high.  Eddie Murray was a solid hitter and one of the all time great Orioles.

Whenever I think of Eddie Murray I think of a first baseman who surpassed him in hitting achievements, Albert Pujols.

So who’s the best switch-hitter in history?

No doubt about it-->   The Mick!!!!   lets see if @Kibbee Nayee can add perspective.

There aren't many competitors to the Mick in history. No switch hitter had his power. Yogi Berra used to say that if Mantle only batted left-handed, he would hit .400 with 60 HRs, but Mantle was a phenomenal switch-hitter. 

The guy in today's game that reminds me most of Mantle is Mike Trout. Now imagine how amazing Trout would be if he could bat 67% of the time from the batter's box that is a step and a half closer to first base?
