Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas. Food eating champ.........She also gets an honorable mention in the "Wind Breaking" category.
One hit wonders
Eric Gagne- Went from average, to one of the best relief seasons in MLB history and then fell of the face of the earth.
Brady Anderson- Slap hitter belts 40 homers one year.
Can't believe I left off Rivera from earlier. He definitely has the edge over Smoltzie.
I've read that Williams once stated that he could see the seams on a baseball pitched to him as it approached the plate while he was at bat.Williams was the best example of power and average the game ever saw.
If we're judging all-around talent, the best I ever saw on a baseball diamond were:
1) Mays
2) Clemente
3) Mantle
Yeah, Ruth was a successful pitcher, blah-blah-blah. He was also a fat chub who probably wouldn't do jack shyt around today's game. One guy who always gets under appreciated here is Mantle. Early in his career, he was probably the best all-around player in the game. Knee issues and alcoholism robbed him of what could have been an even better career than he had.
Another guy who probably deserves mention for all-around prowess is Jeter. How many guys did what he did year in and year out over that long a period? He was the definition of money. As time goes by, his name will probably start popping up in the discussion of best ever.
Clemente was hands down the best defensive outfielder to play the game.
Can't believe no one said Serena Williams
Thats actually pretty much a requirement of being a big leaguer. No other way to tell a slider from a fast ball bc the major leaguers usually dont alter their motions.I've read that Williams once stated that he could see the seams on a baseball pitched to him as it approached the plate while he was at bat.
You could probably make an argument for Djokovic over Federer. He's got the head to head advantage and being younger may overtake Federer in majors.
