/in , /by


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

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”.

Jimi Hendrix is the #1 Musician Fans Would Like to See at Coachella 2013 According to Ranker's April Rankings of Musicians You'd Want to See Perform as Holograms

/in , /by


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2013

Jimi Hendrix holds a narrow lead over Freddie Mercury as the musician most fans would like to see perform as a hologram at the 2013 Coachella Music and Arts Festival on Ranker’s “Dead Musicians You’d Like To See Perform At Coachella” list, a a crowd-sourced list on the consumer opinions website, Ranker.com. More than 1200 people have voted on the list as of April 2013 and the variety of performers fans would like to see return to the stage after death are as varied as the acts at this year’s festival. Fans would have the hologram concept, which resurrected slain rapper 2-Pac during Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg’s set at the 2012 Festival, bring back performers from Bob Marley to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to entertain the masses in the Indio desert.

The rest of the Top 10 Dead Performers Who Should Be Holograms are as follows:

1) Jimi Hendrix

2) Freddie Mercury

3) Bob Marley

4) John Lennon

5) Johnny Cash

6) Jim Morrison

7) Elvis Presley

8) Kurt Cobain

9) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

10) The Beatles

Music enthusiast Brian Gilmore enjoyed the Tupac hologram last year, but doesn’t think all music legends would benefit from digital reanimation. Said Gilmore, “It would be great to see Freddie Mercury on stage again, but there’s no way a hologram could capture his charisma”.

/in , /by


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2013

San Francisco holds a narrow lead over New York City as the #1 coolest city on Ranker’s “America’s Coolest Cities” list, a crowd-sourced list on the consumer opinions website, Ranker.com. More than 1,000 people have voted on the list as of April, 2013 and the gap between the cities competing for “Coolest City in the US” is smaller than Rhode Island. The top 10 has cities representing both coasts, the South, and the Midwest while seemingly thriving cities like Los Angeles and Miami not even making the Top 10.

The rest of the Top 10 Coolest Cities in US are as follows:

1) San Francisco

2) New York City

3) Boston

4) Seattle

5) New Orleans

6) Chicago

7) Austin

8) Portland

9) Honolulu

10) Las Vegas

David Kevoe, who was born on the East Coast but settled in LA, thinks show business’s biggest city ranks lower on the list because “LA is the place I would want to live mainly due to the sun and the weather, but not that much fun to visit compared to these other cities”. Kevoe’s pick for #1 city is Las Vegas due mostly to the entertainment value offered.
