Would Ronald MacDonald have made a good stock broker?
The instant I saw this thread title I knew it was Blackout. Keep up the stellar work, man.My top 10 players:
1. Babe Ruth
2. Barry Bonds
3. Ty Cobb
4. Ted Williams
5. Willie Mays
6. Alex Rodriguez
7. Hank Aaron
8. Honus Wagner
9. Lou Gehrig
10. Mickey Mantle -
6'8", 250 and a build like that? Yes, he probably could of been one hell of a power hitter / first baseman.Comment

I see him more as a pitcher.Comment

No idea, but Michael Jordan couldn't hit to save his life, so there's that precedent. Hitting Major League pitching is supposedly the hardest thing in sports to do.They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.Comment

I thought playing for Finley was the hardest thing to do in baseball....Comment

Plus he doesn't have the toughness of Jordan. He's almost like a child. Last night he had a great game but will he show up for game 7. He cant even handle big games in his own sport, how the heck could he excel in baseball."(Shoeless Joe Jackson's fall from grace is one of the real tragedies of baseball. I always thought he was more sinned against than sinning." -- Connie Mack
"I have the ultimate respect for Whitesox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Redsox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country."--Jim Caple, ESPN (Jan. 12, 2011)Comment

He actually did receive a contract offer from the Lake Erie Crushers of the independent league before he left Cleveland. It was probably a publicity stunt more than anything, but still, it would have been interesting if he gave it a go.

"Hanging out with him sucks because all the women flock to him. Let's see, he's been on the cover of GQ, is rich and famous, hits for average and power and is a helluva nice guy." - Tim Raines on Derek JeterComment

If hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports, then pitching must be the easiest...Using a stolen chant from Boston Celtics fans whenever an L.A. team is playing up there just reeks of inferiority complex.

During the N.B.A. lockout he said he was going to play tight-end in the N.F.L.
I think Seattle Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll even Tweetered about it, asking him to come try out for the Seahawks!

I'm assuming Blackout wants a nice old fashioned debate over "are championships and postseason success necessary to be considered an all time great" and equating LeBron with the likes of Ty Cobb, Ted Williams and Barry Bonds and other baseball all time legends without even a decent postseason resume.Comment
