Since were are all collectors of cards, I was just wondering what is your favorite player of all time and why? |

For me, it's Hank Greenberg (I know, a little to "recent" for some collectors here!), but he had such power, grace, and courage in the face of adversity. |

As a kid I always wanted to be a catcher and looked up to Johnny Bench. Was a New York kid rooting for the Reds (go figure). |

Ryne Sandberg. Grew up loving the Cubs and I worshipped Ryno. I got to meet him at a Cubs charity event about 13 years ago (back when I was a lad of 23 or so) and I was trembling so hard I thought I might faint. |

Well, as a player I like John McGraw. Half the time he got to bat he wound up on base (according to my calculations). No one has come close to that. He was a stolen base threat, an innovator, an accomplished manager, a cheat, a thief, and a very resourceful individual. |

John Ward--Great pitcher and a great shortstop. After his playing days a great golfer. Also, other than Albert Spalding, had the greatest influence on 19th century baseball. |

Of the players I grew up watching, Tony Oliva was my favorite. Of the old-time players, it's a toss up between Ken Williams and Benny Kauff. Sam Crawford would also be close |

Growing up: Al Kaline. I used to tell my friends that he was my uncle. hee. Really. My last name is Kline, and I told the other kids that they made a mistake on the uniform way back when and he just kept it that way. lololol. That still kind of cracks me up. |

Modern player: I always loved Catfish Hunter. I got to see him pitch during the A's glory days. He didn't blow people off the mound..but he just kept winning.. Only if Charlie O Finley kept that club together they could have given the Reds a run for the money well into the late 70's... |

My favorite is Don Mattingly!! '86 being my most hated year. To think, a pitcher, Clemens, could win the MVP. Appearing 1 out of every 5 games, what a joke. Modern baseball enjoyment ended for me when the Yanks picked up Boggs, if I didn't cry then I should have, and then Clemens, Hey Steinbrenner, just stick a knife in my heart why don't you. |

My favorite growing up was Pete O'Brien...followed him from his playing days with the University of Nebraska through his major league career, and tried to collect every card I could find of his. When Ebay came around it helped me locate many of them, but believe it or not there are some very hard to find regional cards from the 1980's. |

Mark (the Bird) Fidrych. In 1976, Brooks Robinson said he didn't even know Fidrych was on the team the first time he played against the Tigers, and by the next time they played he was the biggest sensation in baseball. Fidrych was everything great about baseball, a unique spirit who wasn't afraid to manicure the mound to his liking on his hands and knees between innings. Just electric, and the crowds were huge for all his starts. I got to see him once in Oakland that year, when he lost 2-1 in 10 innings. I've never seen anyone like him before or since. |
