What are the best vintage, investment-type players in your opinion?

Good list. I'd put Joe Jackson in and take Berra out. And I probably would add Rose and Ryan from the 60s.

Very sorry I derailed the discussion. I didn't mean to slander poor Mike Trout, the ChyNA doll. Can we forget that bum now and talk about Mickey again?
Trout has packs to rip so he can add to his 37 M salary for doing absolutely nothing again this year. I can't see where that would cause any animosity.

I'm just curious if it's libel or slander if it's true?

It was a great derailment as we got to see someone be wrong and then argue they were correct. That is always fun. As someone who may or may not have gotten a letter from a lawyer for something they posted on here. I can guarantee the letter from the lawyer used libel and not slander.

I was never clear on the merits of the actual accusation. Writing that Trout's teammates hate him - what's the legal threshold? Would 2 hateful teammates satisfy the claim? Or would it require a higher percentage?

No, truth is a defense, but it would be tough to establish here.
