Mookie Betts: The Second best player in baseball.
Right after the 2018 season, when Mookie Betts won the MVP, I read a quote in Baseball Prospectus that said, ” If Mike Trout is the undisputed best player in baseball then Mookie is the undisputed second best.

Barry Bonds: The G.O.A.T ??
Barry Bonds, the face of the 1990s and early 2000s, the posterboy of the juicing scandals and a menace towards reporters and pretty much everyone else. But there is no denying his greatness.

Everyone already knows that Mike Trout is the best player of the 2010s and the best player in the MLB right now. What about on an all time scale? In my opinion Babe Ruth is the GOAT, Ted Williams a close second, and Barry Bonds at 3. Even if Trout only plays another 3 seasons …. Read More

His career numbers of .270/.319/.500 with 412 homers and 1159 RBIs and 1152 runs scored aren’t terrible. He also stole 289 bases in …. Read More
Albert Belle: Injuries Cost him pt. 3
Albert Belle was one of the best hitters of the 90s. Had it not been for the degenerate hip condition that cause him to retire at just age 33, he most likely would have made it to the Hall of Fame. In his career with the Indians, White Sox, and Orioles he hit .295/.369/.564 with …. Read More

Nomar Garciaparra, or Nomah as they called him in Boston was a shortstop who was considered the best 3 shortstops for generations.
