Hillbilly Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 For the old school times: Ozzie Smith and Nolan Ryan New School: Scott Rolen from Jasper, Indiana went and watched him before he left high school. If I ever get to coach baseball, I want my kids to watch Rolen films. He's a dedicated 3rd basemen that hardly misses a ball in his zone.

James7xChamp3 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Re: Favorite Baseball player. Scott Rolen is a great player. I really like David Ortiz. He can crush a ball but also deliver a nice single or double when the oppurtunity is there. He seems to come up up big when needed a lot of times and is not intimidated by any pitcher. His personality is out of this world and he always has a big smile. A great team player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABuckSlayer Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Favorite Baseball player. Don Mattingly is my all time favorite! Then Paul O'Neill and now Derek Jeter. I also loved Ozzie Smith. I played shortstop my whole childhood and he's who I tried to be like. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCH Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Favorite Baseball player. Old School: The Greatest pitcher to ever live IMO: Sandy Koufax. New School: Vladimir Guerrero. Loved him when he was an Expo. I could get rich off his baseball cards if he makes the Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckbuster11 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Favorite Baseball player. I dont think I have a favorite to be honest. I became a big David Ortiz fan last fall.....I've always liked Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols, and some other guys. I love watching Bonds hit...even if he is on something.....I've never seen a guy consistantly put the fat part of the bat on the ball like he does.

DSGB Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Favorite Baseball player. ROFLMAO @ dogdoc! Nolan Ryan doesn't get enough respect, IMO. I guess he likes it that way - staying out of the spotlight - except for the Advil commercials. He is one of, if not the, greatest pitchers ever. No doubt the toughest.

Tominator Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Re: Favorite Baseball player. Geez, that's a tough question! Old timers: Gosh, too many to name, but a few of my favorites have to be Cal Ripken, Boog Powell, Andre Thornton, Duane Kuiper, Mike Hargrove, Gaylord Perry. Present day is a little tougher. It seems as soon as you get attached to someone, the free agency dollars fly in, and they head off to the arch rival--Albert Bell, Manny Ramirez, the Alomar brothers, et. al. Presently, I'd have to say Omar Vizquel is still one of my favorites. Flashy player, fun to watch, pretty grounded and he actually still plays for the Indians--I think.

slugshooter Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Re: Favorite Baseball player. Dale Murphy is my all time favorite since childhood, nowadays I have to go with John Smoltz, not sure how much longer he's gonna be around though. I wish one of my good friends careers had played out though, Jonathan Johnson, star pitcher from Florida State, 1st Round Pick for the Rangers , started for them, the Astros and the Padres but too many injuries forced him to give it up 2 years ago. I was really hoping to see him in the Hall of Fame one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
