Due to absence of Mays in this poll I will go with Griffey. Perhaps I am biased being in the Northwest but Jr is the greatest all around talent I ever saw. I can tell this is the pre war forum. Ty Cobb over Griffey is like believing a Chalmers would beat a Ferrari in a race

If Junior plays for the NYY from '51 to '69 he's winning 7 titles too.

Adrian, maybe this could be your next poll:
Who was the best player to never play in a World Series?

1- Napoleon Lajoie
2- George Sisler
3- Ernie Banks
4- Rod Carew
5- Ken Griffey Jr.

Did I miss anyone?

Mays! Mays in the live ball era. Speaker in the deadball era. Cobb was not a great fielder. Dimaggio was the third best CF in his family as far as fielding. Vince and Dom were better. Mantle was third. The NY bias is so great.

Playing first in that weird Polo Grounds and then getting rewarded by next being tortured in that windblown Candlestick for years...Willie gets tops...if not at least in the top 3.

Mays.. and not because I'm a Giants fan. He just influenced a game on every level (power, hit for average, glove, RF caliber throwing arm, speed on basepaths on balls in play, speed to steal bases, and intellectually).

Seems like Mays has a huge lead here, which surprises me some since it was nearly neck and neck in the Mantle vs. Mays thread a few weeks back.
