And I give Rose extra points for both being exciting to watch and giving 110 percent all the time--unlike, say, Rickey Henderson.<br /><br />Considering those who I saw play, I agree that Mantle, Schmidt and Robinson were better. Though I'm a big fan, I'd rate Yaz close to Rose--as does your list. Barry Bonds <a href="http://nooilforpacifists.blogspot.com/2005/05/clear-cream-and-ugly.html" rel="nofollow">raises separate issues</a>, as you hint. And, as good as Joe Morgan was, I simply <a href="http://deadspin.com/5644328/is-this-normal?skyline=true&s=i" rel="nofollow">can't stand him</a>. <br /><br />Were I Commissioner, I'd put Rose in the Hall the day after he dies. I wouldn't give him the honor of speaking at the induction ceremony.@nooil4pacifistshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688417615117569825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-44868742014863208622010-09-27T22:45:51.027-04:002010-09-27T22:45:51.027-04:00You might actually find watching Cross Game, a dra...You might actually find watching Cross Game, a drama shot about baseball, more than some of these national league type games going on, AV.<br /><br />It's great baseball fun.Ymarsakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-4743968856210041602010-09-27T22:42:28.221-04:002010-09-27T22:42:28.221-04:00The 4th and 5th hitters are the "clean up hit...The 4th and 5th hitters are the "clean up hitters".<br /><br />The ones that are counted on for homeruns if the last 3 can get on base without too many outs. Or a walk if bases are loaded. Or simply an outfield fly that lets somebody steal a base, including homebase, even if the ball is caught given the time it takes to throw from outfield to home.Ymarsakarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-25974528484912770292010-09-24T19:20:56.198-04:002010-09-24T19:20:56.198-04:00Couldn't agree more.Couldn't agree more.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05680174513083261237noreply@blogger.com
