Got to see him play for Barons a couple times and remember being in awe as a kid when I saw him. Went on to the White Sox and well the rest is history. My dad and I actually went up to the HOF when he got inducted. Oh man, good call. Frank Thomas was always "my guy" back in my high school days of playing fantasy baseball. If I couldn't get Jr, I loved drafting The Big Hurt in the first round. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve gar 44 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 As far as favorite players go, I’m sure Al Kaline is on plenty of lists. He was an exceptional person on and off the field, may he RIP. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheBoatmen 424 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Jesse Barfield. 162 OF assists. The home runs were nice but I would watch just to see him throw out runners from the OF. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I was a kid I was at a game at Anaheim Stadium and in the bottom of the ninth or maybe extras, I don’t remember, Brian Downing hit a liner down the left field line headed for the seats for a walk-off homer. George Bell dove into the stands after it. He had the ball when he headed in but didn’t have it when he climbed out. Downing circled the bases and the entire Angels team raced to the clubhouse as fast as they could while Bell went nuts pointing at some fan who took the ball out of his glove. Boy he was mad! It was ruled a HR but by the time they were done arguing I think most of the Angels had probably left the park anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sjs1890 142 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Ivan "Pudge" Rodriquez. The guy was an absolute monster at his position. Could you guys imagine compared to catchers these days his 1999 season. 116 runs 35 hr's 113 rbi 332 average and 25 sb's good lord. Randy "The Big Unit" Johnson. Similar to Pudge he was just really dominate at his position and was fun to watch pitch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpecialFNK 1,504 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 my favorite player has always been Fred McGriff. I'm about 2 hours south of Toronto. as a kid in the 80's I loved the Blue Jays and McGriff. I had a bunch of memorabilia, tshirts, posters. my favorite number was even 19. I was only a kid but I knew players sometimes changed teams, but I never even imagined that McGiff could be traded, he was young and in his prime. then came the trade with the Padres, McGriff and Tony Fernandez for Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar. I was devastated. I didn't understand how they could trade McGriff. it worked out for the Jays with 2 World Series championships, but I still felt impacted by the trade. I haven't really had a favorite player like that since. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
