Who Is Your Favorite MLB Player Since 1950 ?

[LuteHawk]

Most of the folks on HROT were not born before the 1950's
so it would be a fair starting point to chose your favorite.

My personal favorite is New York Yankee Hall of Famer
Mickey Mantle. He won 7 World Series Rings, won one
Triple Crown, and hit over 500 career home runs. He was
the greatest switch hitter in MLB history.

Bake McBride. For the name, and for the hair.

Teddy Baseball or Hammerin' Hank.

Ryne Sandberg

 

[hawk halen]

Rod Carew with the Twins.

 

[WorldSeriesChamps2015]

The Kid, Ken Griffey Jr.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Mark Buehrle, wish he could have finished his career with the Sox rather than going to the Marlins and Jays.

[mnole03]

Greg Maddux is the credited response.

Close 2nd would be Al Kaline.

 

[h-hawk]

Not a huge baseball fan but I really enjoyed Ron Santo's commentary on the radio over the years.

[3 and Out on D]

George Brett

Close 2nd would be Al Kaline.

Al Kaline hands down.

 

[3 and Out on D]

My dad a non-sports fan would agree. The only athlete I recall him respecting.

 

[Roy-munson]

Ken Griffery jr, Barry Larkin,

 

[seminoleed]

Damn, until age 10 it was the MIck. During my teen years, Hank Aaron.
After that, hard to choose between Brooks Robinson, Dale Murphy, Phil Niekro, or Sandy Koufax. Today, baseball doesn't move me like it used to, but whenever Trout comes to bat, if I notice it, I stop to watch.

 

[IACub]

Ryno, Maddux, or Wood. Rizzo is quickly moving up the list.

Puckett by a wide margin. Loved him growing up in Minnesota.

 

[ghost80]

Pete Rose.
