I heard it once during an Indians game. One of the most random things I've ever heard. I thought maybe that was the answer. Like having a better core.

I was watching PTI or something like it a couple days ago and their comments made me think. they were talking about the olympics and brought up shaun white and how, even if you know nothing about snowboarding, you can just tell that hes the best. well i was thinking about what other athletes would "qualify" for this. the people that first come to mind would me like Lebron and Ovi. who do you guys think is the best of the best in their respective sports? |

Pujols and Lincecum sure. when you watch them you can tell that they are heads above everyone else but the other two have me dumbfounded. yes, Ichiro is an incredible player and one of the best contact hitters in baseball but when i watch him i dont think "hes destroying the other team." while i know thats harder to do in baseball the most other sports, i just dont see it with Ichiro or Cabrera. |

(cabbys numbers are comparable to henry aaron) and cabby is outstanding at his position. i can go position to position if youd like, i know baseball like the back of my hand. i live for it. |

ummm... its close. i feel texiera is better defensively, but not that much. but cabby is much MUCH better offensively. so id say overall. maybe its the homer in me, but i believe it. the baseball love in me says it. |

Well with no knowledge of a sport, people are going to think the best player is the most hyped one. Currently: Lebron James Sidney Crosby Dale Earnhardt jr. Peyton Manning Alex Rodriguez |

because hes a yankee. we dont like the yankees round these parts. they are hated. between them and the white sox, its sheer hatred. its nothing beyond that (we already had the overrated discussion, and it led to hurt feelings. lets not do that again, unless its not a heated discussion) |

man, enough of this cliff lee shit. he was demoted to AAA ball in 2007 for crying out loud. he had a great 08 season, and a good 09 season. hes still, in reality in terms of his ability and pitch variety, a #3 pitcher. he doesnt over power you, he doesnt have GREAT control, and his stuff doesnt move THAT much. why he had such a great 08 season, i have NO idea. |

I know why: he took his Bowflex bar on his hunting trips. He would stick it between two trees and do pull-ups and curl-ups and shit. Honest to God this is a true story. |
