Hal Chase, obviously. You want to argue with Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, and The Sporting News? And with Nap LaJoie and Ty Cobb, who also said he was the best fielding first baseman ever?
Art "The Great" Shires, who played alongside of him, who wrote, "I know he was the greatest first baseman there ever was. I believe he could have been the greatest second baseman if he wanted to."
Babe Ruth on Hal Chase: "Prince Hal was the greatest fielding first baseman that ever played."
