you've seen more than me, but from this part of town the stories have:

1. Jay Franklin

I'll tell you who would be in my top 10 and is the most UNDER rated player in History.. Rickey Henderson.. This guy is first in SB, WALKS, LEAD-OFF HOMERS.. All kinds of stats.. Only if his attitude was different..

I'll never forget the night he broke Lou Brocks stolen base record b/c Nolan Ryan (another top 10) threw his 7th NO-NO that same night and stole the lime light from Rickey.. I still say he is one of my top 10 players of all time..

Why do people not steal 100 bases any more??.. Oh there's another stat he's the leader in.. (I think)

 

[hello there]

How the hell do you people put Hank Aaron and Willie Mays on the list without putting Barry Bonds atleast tied with them?? Barry Bonds is getting even less pitches to hit than Aaron or Mays ever had and he still got 12 homers this year. At the end stretch of Barry's record 73 last season when pitchers was rarely ever giving Barry decent ball to hit, and Barry hit them out anyways, Willie said he has never seen anything that incredible before.

No more 100 steals anymore are probably due to the home runs. Anyway, has anyone else imagined what Ruth might have done today if he had weight training and kept himself in shape. They would be chasing 800 homers. My top 3 are Ruth, his great pitching ability makes him a no-brain number 1. Willie Mays second. Had the park working against him thru his entire career. Third, i'd say Barry Bonds.

PS. Did I actually read Dean Palmer?
