GamblorLA 423 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I don't really have a team. I was a Tigers fan as a super small kid via my parents, then Dodgers after moving to LA. After they treated their fans like trash for years and years, I was out. So anyway,as an unrestricted free agent fan, it's Ichiro. Him coming over as this unknown, mysterious star. People thought Asian players might not ever be great position players and so there was a fair amount of doubt. He just kills it. Outfield assist is my favorite play, so there's that. He had his own philosophy about hitting, which might not have been optimal, but was cool. There's still this air of mystery, as he had great power in BP. He just wanted to play in a Ty Cobb kinda style. I think it's a far more exciting style than BB/K/HR and nothing else. (Really, I like having players with all different styles) Some say he could have done well in a home run derby. Was also a good pitcher. It's a shame they waited so long to give him a shot. How typical of MLB to just throw away an exciting fan experience. Not saying he should have been Ohtani, but good greif, this huge superstar wants to pitch in some blowouts, let him. Let us see it. Epic HR on his return to Seattle with the fans going nuts, holding up signs in Japanese. I love how baseball has become such a cross cultural game. Seems like a really cool guy. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bandito 2,693 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) 22 hours ago, MrBrett said: George Brett Great memories of him, including his quest to hit .400. A few infamous ones. Pine tar, going ballistic, and hemorrhoids. Lol George was my guy, too. I was blessed in that in the twelve games I got to see him in person, he hit .500 with six HR. I’ve always maintained that if he’d have provided me with season tickets, it would have guaranteed he’d have been the best ever!

Baseball Batman 227 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Mark "The Bird" Fidrych. The only baseball player to grace the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine. 1976 was magic. What a season and what a guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tristan0823 123 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Bryce Harper. As a die hard Nats fan it hurt having him go to Philly. I love the attitude the brashness the fair flip all of it. That MVP season was a ride. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackg1162 68 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 George Bell. One of the most feared hitters of the 80s and 1987 AL MVP. And he would kick your a** if you threw him chin music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He may still be playing in some obscure league somewhere. Steve Buechele was another favorite. Juan Gonzalez and Nolan were obviously high on the list too. Watched all these guys at the old Arlington Stadium many o times. Great memories. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
