Default Your favorite player of all time

Posted By: warshawlaw

Of the ones I've seen play who are no longer active: Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, Paul O'Neil

Alltime, you can add Lefty O'Doul, Carl Hubbell and Sandy Koufax to the list.

Currently playing: Shawn Green, Andy Pettite, Ichiro

Remember, these are my favorites, not "best" players.

I've only met 3 of them (Aaron, Green, Koufax). Can't recall what I said to Aaron or Green but I know it was stupid. Edited to say: I forgot Koufax. Met him at a card show back in '87. I was getting his autograph for a friend on a '66 Topps that he'd had since he was a boy (I didn't do autographs then, so I didn't get one for myself). I was so awestruck that I asked to shake hands, which I've never done with anyone else, just so I could tell my grandkids that I shook hands with Sandy Koufax.
