Iconic Players from each decade (50's/60's/70's)

[David W]

I was born in 1963, and raised in Central Illinois. I'll leave the 50's and 60's alone except to say it would seem Willie, Mickey, and the Duke along with Ted Williams and Jackie Robinson would be tough to beat for the 50's and Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale and Juan Marichal would seem to be the stars of the 1960's.

In the 1970's when we played baseball we were almost always one of these guys.

I think Pete Rose and Reggie were far and away the most popular baseball players where I was.
