Was always partial to Wade Boggs. But it was more of a "I hate that guy/wish we had him" thing.

Toss up between Joe Morgan and George Foster
Liked both of these guys.
Little Joe, he of the flapping wing. :)





Jesse Barfield and Dave Steib!
Of course two of my favorite Jays.





Rickey Henderson best all round ball player to ever play the game
But quite the asshole.





Joe Carter
If I was younger Carter would likely be it.





Roberto Alomar
I did like (cough spit) Robbie. Maybe Sandy will bring him back as a coach.





george bell
Oh my purple butt.







Reggie Jackson, the original Mr October.
My favorite all time baseball player. Reggie, Reggie, Reggie


But if I were a kid today .... Jose Bautista.

Bud Selig...





Did not get into baseball until my late teens so I never had a fav player as a kid.

Loved playing the game as a kid.

I can remember playing "Scrub" when only a few guys were hanging around at the diamond.

Roberto Alomar...Still have a huge smile on my face thinking of the homer he hit off of Eckersley in the playoffs.
