Willie Mays.....
Not ridiculous, i would say micky was better for his peak years.a long time ago in baseball land -especially New York- there used to be a continuous argument/discussion -
who's better Mantle or Mays
that was considered serious.
Seems ridiculous now.
I remember the first time I saw Willie Mays play in person.
It was at Connie Mack Stadium in the early 1960s against the Phillies. I was just a little kid.
I remember walking up the tunnel with my dad into the stands, gazing out onto the field......and there he was..........#24.
It was like looking at Zeus.
For people of my generation, it is hard to convey the "it" factor that this guy carried around with him. There was something magical about it.
That night, he hit a home run, stole a base, and made several basket catches (his trademark) in the outfield.
It sounds ridiculous to say.....but it was absolutely thrilling.
It's actually an interesting question with no wrong answer- If you were a manager and you could have only one on your team who would you choose -Frank Robinson or Roberto Clemente ?Mays, Aaron, and Clemente....NL all star outfield for many years in a row....Frank Robinson when he played for the Reds was always the fourth wheel....
Wonder who Rail would choose? I would take Clemente....It's actually an interesting question with no wrong answer- If you were a manager and you could have only one on your team who would you choose -Frank Robinson or Roberto Clemente ?
FWIW I'd choose Frank Robinson
