eh, MJ may be the greatest, but he wasnt the most dominate. i'd say, given griffeys tools, he was the best ever player, but the most dominate is ty cobb, so therefore, i give the nod to cobb.

The sad thing is that he could have done so much better had injuries not derailed him as much as they did.

I do wanna point out I'm not trying to knock on Junior at all. Just my opinion, is all.

oh, i know, phil. but, ya might not wanna argue with someone who has idolized him since 1992. haha.

also, in the clip i showed in the first post, the catch he makes at 1:13, i was at that game at old tiger stadium. SI did a frame by frame spread of that catch.

thats just a start of a list of 5 tool players before griffey. and several of them would be considered better players overall.

none of them excelled in all 5 tools like griffey. griffey wasnt just good at all of em, he was in the ELITE top 3 in all of em. he was a GREAT baserunner, and that was probably his biggest liability. and he was OUTSTANDING at it.

i give all those players the nod of greatness (pre roid bonds was a very good player, but i never saw him as elite) but i really, after reading and doing research, dont think any of them compare to griffey.

griffey was just THAT good.

but, you are right, i suppose that statement i made was wrong.

he had speed, but it appeared he didnt use it much as he was hurt. i think mantles my number 3 all time guy, i love the guy. seriously. his book was AWESOME.

Hank aaron pisses me off. great player, but in your agenda against racism against black people, you make it apparent in your racism against white people.
