Mike T. found this and asked that I post it here. This just makes me sad.

Is Joba experimenting, or does he just stink?  I guess we’ll know after his next start. Rivera says he belongs in the bullpen as the 8th inning guy.  Maybe Joe should listen to Mo.
Len and I heard an interview with Curtis Granderson the other day.  The guy is smooth and impressive.  Assuming he does as [...]

The just deceased Willie was part of the 1963 Dodgers team that destroyed the Yanks in the Series 4-0. Koufax and Drysdale in their prime were way too much for a Yankee team that was showing its age.  Those were the years Maury Wills and Davis   manufactured runs with their legs, and the pitching staff [...]

I am listening to my first Yankees pre-season game and within 15 minutes of turning on the radio I can’t stand Waldman and Sterling.  Mistakes, exaggerations, over statements and reactions.  It’s a pre season game and you can sense from Sterling a sense of urgency about the game.
We deserve better.

Two days into spring training games, Nick Johnson is injured.  Fantastic!

I know that Russ limited himself to players whose careers are complete, but I would be remiss to not bring up Albert Pujols.  He is 29 years old, has played only 9 seasons and yet…..

Rookie of the Year 2001
3 MVPs (2005, 2008, 2009)
MVP runner up 3 times (2002, 2003, 2006)
MVP top 5 8 time (out [...]

Very well constructed and researched.  I applaud your inclusion of early guys like Cobb and Hornsby, any list without them would be bogus. It makes me cringe to see that recent poll  “Who is the greatest US President” and #1 is Reagan;  heck I loved Ronnie but people who answered that should be waterboarded with [...]

So my post yesterday got me thinking… who are the 10 greatest players of all time? 
Players whose careers are finished – so no A-Rod or Ken Griffey Jr., I’m not sure they would be on the list but let’s count them out.  No Barry Bonds, either, because I cannot attribute what amount of his achievements [...]

I will stick in my two cents.  Although having never seen any of them play.  I have only reviewed the stats and read books (granted I never read a detailed biography on Mays, I will make sure I read this one). 
To me, it is difficult to evaluate Mantle and compare him effectively to Mays.  Injuries.  [...]
