July 20, 200520 yr Being a 20 year-old, im subjected to mostly the steroid era of baseball... which kinda depresses me. I was thinking about it tonight, and if i could see one player who i never got to see.... it would most likely be Mickey Mantle. With Wille Mays a close second The Mick just seems like my type of guy.... booze-broads-homeruns.... Whose would yours be? Discuss.
July 20, 200520 yr Author How great would it have been to watch Sandy Koufax, Walter Johnson, or Bob Gibson pitch.... i dunno im just a history junkie...

With Wille Mays a close second The Mick just seems like my type of guy.... booze-broads-homeruns.... Whose would yours be? Discuss. I'm with you. I would love to see Mantle play. Power, speed, defense. He was a beast of a player. I would love to see him in his prime.
July 20, 200520 yr Considering that I saw Mantle, Mays, Clemente (The man does not get his due.), Aaron, Bench, Seaver .. yada yada yada .. all the greats from the mid 60's forward, I'd have to say Williams, Musial, Cobb and Shoeless Joe.
July 20, 200520 yr As much as would love to have seen Mickey Mantle. I would give my left nut to have seen Sandy Koufax pitch or Carl Hubell strike out all those guys in the all star game in a row. Lou Gehrig Willie Mays but the best would have been to be able to go back in time and watch the negro league games. See some of those guys, they talk about. Paige and stuff.
July 20, 200520 yr Carl Hubbell My best friend growing up was actually the great grand-son of Carl, what a screwball, both of em :-). I would have loved to see Ted Williams hit, Willie Mays field, and Cy Young pitch.
July 21, 200520 yr Teddy Ballgame. Joe Dimaggio...during 1 particular 56 game stretch. Satchel Paige Yaz.
July 21, 200520 yr Satchel Paige, Shoeless Joe, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Honus Wagner, Cy Young, Bob Gibson, Walter Johnson, Ed Walsh, Nellie Fox...just off the top pf my head. Edited July 21, 200520 yr by SoxFan1
