All Time best players you've seen play in person

[Janus]

I was very fortunate to see Clemente
The players on these teams, 64 Cardinals, 65 Dodgers, 66Dodgers, 67Cardinals 68 Cardinals, 69 Mets, 70-71 Orioles 72 Pirates 73 Mets 74 A's 75 Reds, 76 Red Sox 77-78 Yankees along with 77 Dodgers 79 Pirates 80 Phillies
Saw the Astros of 80 and the Reds of 76 also
After 80 I didn't see that much live games did see Jeter and Rivera Maddox and Griiffy jr Deon Clemens and Bonds McGuire Ozzie.
I guess a few after but my real connection was pre 80
During Carltons famous streak on his way to 27, I saw the streak ending game, bummer.

I'm guessing those Mariano Rivera memories aren't the greatest

LOL. Not good memories from watching him on TV. But the one time I did see him in person was when the Yankees clinched a playoff spot at Tampa Bay in 2007. Up until then, I had never seen a team clinch anything in person. So, that was cool.

My least favorite Yankee of all time is perhaps Jim Leyritz. I still have nightmares about that 1996 WS home run.

I got to see Roberto Clemente hit a three run HR off Steve Carlton. He only had four months to live

RIckey Henderson - seen him break or tie Lou Brocks sb record in 1984 vs the Brewers in Milwaukee

Those were my highlights.......
I can't list all the top players Ive seen when I have been to approximately 50-60 baseball games starting back in 1972( Cubs vs Expos)........

With my last game in 2023 at Truist Stadium vs the Dodgers......

Shea Stadium
Citizen Park
PNC Park
Jacob's Field
Old Tiger Stadium
New Comiskey
Busch Stadium
Tropicana Field
Bank One (AZ)

Also MSG for the Rangers and a few times to Boston Garden for the Bruins and once for Boston and once for the Rolling Stones.
