Take a slug of Centrum Silver and join the fun!
He was the best right handed pitcher that I have ever seen & Koufax was the best lefty....I would have loved to see them pitch against each other....
i love ya brother...:toast:
we agree on the pitchers....koufax was near unhittable....and gibson was about as intimidating a pitcher as i`ve ever seen(all due deference to nolan ryan and randy johnson)...
Ar... My 1st baseball game 1953 at old Briggs Stadium ( Detroit) I was lucky enough to see the Ted Williams. My father pointed him out to me & said make sure & watch him when he comes up to bat. What great memories... back then you watched games on black & white TV's & then you walk into night game with all those lights & green... green... grass.

wow...didn't realize the head to head record was so strong to Koufax...but my answer was based on who I had seen play in person.
Thanks for the warm replies guys...I'm usually around reading threads but don't follow day to day sports as much anymore as grandkids are very involved in sports year-round.
Just follow my Crimson Tide and Cie and I have a good respect for our programs.
Didn't see them when I followed baseball more closely but always thought Curt Flood and Tony Oliva could handle a bat pretty well.
Free agency and team loyalty tainted my desire to follow many players and teams. Not a slight on any other fans...just an old school thought of mine.
Best to all Madjackers!

I will also say a healthy Don Mattingly, man it's too bad that guy got back injuries. He could hit for .350 and hit 30 dongs, yet he would put the ball all over the field going with the pitch. He was an awesome pure hitter.
I went with Rickey cause of what GW posted. Yeah he probably wasn't the best hitter, but I would probably want to build a team around him more than just about any hitter
