Losing out on almost four years of Baseball service due to World War II, Hank Greenberg still managed to be a two-time American League MVP and a four-time Home Run Champion. Greenberg was an incredible slugger, posting eight seasons where he eclipsed .600 in Slugging and his incredible Slash Line of .319/.414/.616 is nothing short of incredible. Greenberg is also a two-time World Series Champion.
The only thing keeping the Hall of Famer from a higher rank is that his tenure in Detroit (12 Years) is brief in comparison to those ahead of him, but offensively speaking there were few in his league, in his era or now. He would enter the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1956, and in 1983, the Tigers retired his number 5.
