Default Best year for Rookies?

Posted By: Jason L

indeed, so many greats.

you know, those lists have many of the players whom I really wish I could have seen play, like Satch, Campy and Berra. -just to have a better understanding of who they were and how good they were. I still rememeber the stories my Dad has told me about going to see Campanella play, and how he would be amazed at how Campy could throw out base stealers without getting up from his crouch! THAT is the stuff I wish I could see. The things you need to be there for first hand in order to believe it. For me, it's Ichiro's throwing arm, Andre Dawson's size and Strawberry's arcing swing...

His stories about going to see games during his childhood are the reasons I collect cards of the players he remmebers seeing: Eddie Mathews, Campy, Snider

Thanks
