Rose is not the greatest hitter. He has the most base hits in the regular season of the north american major leagues, but he's not the greatest hitter ever. Using the "I'm down to one out, runners on first and second, down by one run, who do I want up at the plate," I'd go with:
1. Ruth
2. Williams
3. Bonds
(a lot of other people, including Hank Aaron, Lou Gehrig, Willie Mays, Canseco in his prime, Amos Otis)
Rose comes somewhere fairly far down the list

Little kids are looking at Ty Cobb's stats, 2nd most hits, and saying let's go see no. 1, where's he?
putting aside the evolution of talent, (ie Ruth in his prime would probably not be a minor leagurer today) your list is crazy.
If you don't put Ty Cobb up before Ruth, people are going to accuse you of betting on the game.
