Babe Ruth holds steady at #1 on Ranker’s “Greatest Baseball Players of All Time” list, a a crowd-sourced list on the consumer opinions website, Ranker.com. More than 900 people have voted on the list as of March, 2013 and the resounding sentiment is that the all-stars of the present don’t have anything on the great players of the past. At #16, Nolan Ryan- who last played with the Texas Rangers in 1993- is the most recent ball player to make the list (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim first baseman Albert Pujols is the top-ranking active player at #37).
The rest of the Top 10 Best Baseball Players are as follows:
1) Babe Ruth
2) Willie Mays
3) Lou Gehrig
4) Ted Williams
5) Ty Cobb
6) Hank Aaron
7) Stan Musial
8) Mickey Mantle
9) Joe Dimaggio
10) Honus Wagner
Baseball aficionado Andrew Tertitski, an ardent Yankees fan, disagrees with Babe Ruth’s top spot. Said Tertitski, “Babe Ruth was an amazing player, fun to watch I’m sure, but when it comes to the man that made the most impact for his team and for the game, there’s no one better than Lou Gehrig”. On the topic of new players being absent from the top rankings, he posited that “too many people question whether these new guys are great because of talent or drugs”.

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) March 29, 2013
Lean Kanban North America 2013, part of the global conference series of the largest, highest quality Kanban events in the world, announces the final lineup of speakers for its management conference taking place April 28-May 2 in Chicago.
Organized by Lean-Kanban University (LKU), Lean Kanban North America is an international gathering of professionals who realize the value of Lean thinking. This year’s conference features the next wave of ideas on measurement, psychology of change, Kanban at scale, risk management, and core foundations of Kanban.
The event is for managers, developers, and change agents who value smart thinking, voracious learning, and constant improvement in the workplace. Attendees will meet and mingle with thought leaders, worldwide experts and Brickell Key Award winners who are the most-respected Lean and Kanban experts all sharing their knowledge under one roof.
Lean Kanban North America Keynote Speakers include:
Bob Lewis, opening keynote and InfoWorld columnist, will convey why “Everything You Know Is Wrong.” This entertaining and thought-provoking talk explains what’s so disastrous about standard models for running IT organizations. Lewis presents a compelling alternative that won’t just drive better results, for IT and for the business it serves, but will make the job of leading and working in IT more satisfying and enjoyable as well.
Douglas Hubbard, inventor of Applied Information Economics (AIE) and Chicago-based author of How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business, will describe how it is possible to measure any “intangible,” to think of risk like an actuary, and how to look at investment portfolios from a risk/return point-of-view.
Stephen Parry is an international leader and strategist on the creation of service enterprises that are adaptive, innovative and engaging. This presentation based on the most recent research from work psychology will provide counter intuitive insights into the ‘industrial management’ mind set, its impact on the design of work and management behaviors.
Lean Kanban North America will feature nine renowned authors on the Main Stage, plus more than 40 invited speakers on six tracks that include Economics & Risk; Kanban at Scale; Kanban Foundations; Psychology & Sociology; Simulation, Games & Measurement; and The Change Agent.
In addition to the main program, LKNA13 authors, speakers and thought leaders will lead full-day Lean Tutorials – one-day or two-day interactive classes designed to provide participants with practical, hands-on knowledge they can use right away on Lean projects.
Attendees will also enjoy an additional 18 presenters with LKNA’s exciting and unique crowd-sourced Ignite talks that will drive the Lean Kanban conversation forward.
Conferences in the Lean Kanban global series provide unique training presentations and focus on helping IT groups within organizations to lower risk and improve predictability of delivery. For more information about the global Lean Kanban conference series endorsed by Lean-Kanban University, please contact Janice Linden-Reed, Lean-Kanban University Vice President of Marketing, at janice(at)leankanbanuniversity(dot)com.
