The greatest MLB player from every state

An article examining the greatest MLB player from each state uses birthplace as the determining factor and considers career performance, peak ability, playoff contributions, and overall impact on the game. For Alabama, Willie Mays from Westfield edges out Hank Aaron from Mobile due to his exceptional combination of hitting, power, speed, and defense; Mays was a 24-time All-Star and two-time NL MVP with 660 home runs and 3,293 hits. Alaska's greatest player is Curt Schilling, born in Anchorage, who achieved superstar status through his partnership with Randy Johnson in Arizona and his notable performances including the famous Bloody Sock game in Boston.
