40 All-Time Baseball Players Iconic Moments

Here at RBTS we went brainstorming for a list of baseball players in the past and present to see who has the best iconic moments. Our goal is to feature players who have wowed us with their signature move that fans all over have talked about, mimic, or can tell you where they were when the incident happened. We will use Babe Ruth for example. We have heard for years about how he allegedly called his home run shot. Baseball purist have told stories about that for years. How truthful was it? We will never know, it sounds more like a tall tale but it's still Babe Ruth's iconic move.
