BobDylan Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:06 AM) It's like debating if sushi tastes good or if Kerouac is the greatest American writer. How can you debate someones favorite? Poor example, Kerouac is clearly not the greatest American writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 19, 2008 -> 06:42 PM) He missed the list. That's kind of ironic. Thome is one of my favorite players in baseball, but he's a Tribe guy in my mind. I totally respect him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Carl would have been ridiculously high on my list. Top 10 probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 El Duque, Jurassic, Oscar Gamble and a few others just missed. I'll do some math tomorrow afternoon and print #51 - the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 04:54 PM) With all the hate Javy is getting the last few days about him not being a "Big Game Pitcher", it makes me think people forgot the problems Marte had. My favorites were more lasting than strictly performance based. If that was the case, we could just have had the greatest players to play for the Sox list.
