      I don’t follow MLB anymore but I did growing up – Barry Bonds is the greatest player I’ve ever seen. I don’t give a shit about steroids and all that.

      His talent was seriously on another level.

      If he never got injured Bo Jackson would be top 10.

      <p style=”text-align: center;”>I think Ted Williams even in today’s game would be in the top 3.</p>

      As a Minnesota guy, I’ve got to throw Kirby Puckett and Joe Mauer both into the mix. If it wasn’t for Kirby’s glaucoma and Mauer’s concussion, they’d both likely have reached insane numbers.

      Mike Trout is on that trajectory, but hasn’t quite hit that yet.

      Still, I gotta go with The Babe (What Babe? The Babe with the power… You can now hate me for getting that song stuck in your head).

      The guy smoked cigars and ate hot dogs and was a formidable pitcher in his own right and STILL destroyed the other teams.

      Pete Rose also has to be mentioned, but nobody knows how much corruption he caused and how inflated his numbers may or may not have been due to gambling and possible cheating.

      As a lifelong A’s fan I have to say Eckersley. That man was a beast.

        You would get along so well with my dad.  Loves Bond and SF Giants!

            Griffey JR, Cap Ripkin JR and John Smoltz.  Growing up with these dudes its hard to make a choice!

            This is waaaaaaaay too hard to answer. Damn. Barry Bonds would’ve been my top pick. But Ken Griffey Jr. was amazing as well. I worshiped Ozzy Smith when I was a kid, and Roger Clemens was a god to me too. Fuck it, let’s just go with Bill Buckner. Nuff said.

            Yes, Bonds was a great talent, before the steroids. He was considered the best all around player in the game when he played for Pittsburgh. As a Dodgers fan, loved to hate him when he signed with SF, and seen him play a couple times at Dodger Stadium. As a kid in the ’80s, however, loved watching Steve Garvey, Dave Parker, and Dale Murphy.

            Mike Trout should be in this conversation.  Hopefully Trout and Angels get some playoff runs in the future so he gets more coverage…Finally saw Trout play in person last season and he can do it all on the field while hustling on every play.

            I’m going to go with Willie Mays.

            I’m a Griffey fan myself but I have to concede that it’s Bonds. Both are two of the most naturally gifted players (early, slimmer Bonds), almost making the game look easy, and there was a point where arguments could be made for either one. But once Jr went to the Reds and the injuries piled on, Bonds ran away with it. How Bonds stayed healthy and in shape in his later years is a different debate, but steroids don’t help hand-eye coordination.

            Being an Orioles fan, I gotta go with Cal Ripken Jr.

            Ken Griffey Jr. the GOAT!
