Dale Murphy
Giants fan with a favorite Giants player from every baseball generation. My favorite non-Giants player is Dale Murphy. He played for the Richmond Braves in the mid-70s and went to a bunch of their games and thought he was just an all around great player and person, only non-Giants player that I PC. In fact I won't go to Cooperstown until Dale gets voted in (Baines over Murphy, you gotta be kidding), I will make an exception when/if Will Clark or Buster Posey make it.

So many really great choices... Really, there's a bunch of players I really liked as players, it's just too hard to pick one.
A couple I liked for odd reasons. Dave Kingman - The huge home runs of course, combined with the odd almost inability to hit anything else. I always wanted the Red Sox to sign him. How many of those massive pop flies would have been homers in Fenway? I think we'd all be talking about how the steroid guys almost beat his season HR record. Bob Montgomery - Saw one interview and became a fan. He seemed so happy and relaxed. (Some will say complacent, not a great thing for a pro sports figure) "Do you feel bad as a backup when you could start on a lot of other teams?" "Are you kidding me? I get to watch some great games, play catch with my pitcher friends and once in a while I get to actually be a major league ballplayer! " (whenever Fisk got hurt) Then there's Feller and Brooks Robinson, I had some neat interactions with each as a kid, so they're pretty far up the list.
