I was not expecting to see Johnny Bench in the 70s top spot! That BA throws me off the scent, compared to top hitters of other decades. Rod Carew had the insane BA, but few walk and zero power. Same goes for Pete Rose.
But then a guy like... say George Brett, he started his major league career in the middle of the decade, I wonder where he would be on a list using another arbitrary range, like 1975-85. Eddie Murray is another big one.
Other guys would be high up there on the list comprising 1965-75, like maybe Willie McCovey, Dick Allen, and Yaz.

The Kid was just the best to ever do it in my eyes. Glad he gets to rule the 1990's
1960s - Roberto Clemente. 4 silver bats / 1 MVP / probably 10 gold gloves / probably a .320+ BA. And 1 WS.
