Second To None
For your consideration at second....
Joe Morgan .271/.392/.427 268 career HR's OPS+ 132 (We are not factoring in his broadcast career which would obviously disqulaify him)
Ryne Sandberg .285/.344/.452 282 career HR's OPS+ 114
Rogers Hornsby .358/.434/.577 301 career HR's OPS+ 175
Nap Lajoie .338/.380/.467 83 career HR's OPS+ 150
Jackie Robinson .311/.409/.474 137 career HR's OPS+ 132
Roberto Alomar .300/.371/.443 210 career HR's OPS+ 116

Hornsby is definitely my choice here. However, it must be noted that he did not balance his superlative hitting with superlative defense. Defense was definitely the chink in his armor, but he more than made up for it with his .358 lifetime average.

Hornsby, but only because you did not include RemDog on the list :)
