No, because it wasn't about business.

You are old, but you ain't that old.

Did it have to be players we seen play? Oooops

Idk. Just for me personally it's easier to draw wood seeing a dinger live rather than reading about a bunt single in a 1908 box score.

I listed 5 old time hitters four of which hit 500+ home runs the other has the most doubles all time.

So my favorites have to be the best players all time? Make your own list Spanky!

I was originally shooting for favorite "SF/NY* Giants" that yeah maybe you had seen play... ya know cos it's the Giants section but I'm digging all of the entries.

Yeah, that's how I did my list. Of course Mays would've certainly made my favorites list if I had grown up in the '60s, but it doesn't feel right listing someone as my favorite if all I've seen are some highlights. That connection of following a team every day of the season is where you build that fondness for certain players.

Funny story, not really, but, the last game I saw before we moved away from the bay area was against the Braves. I saw Mays, McCovey, Hart etc etc and Hank Aaron. Yes i was a wee shaver back in the 70's.

I didn't list a SP but I could have easily listed 4 or 5...or 7 What the the hell:

Timmy
MadBum
Big Daddy
The Polish Prince
The Count(turned into a bit of a nut later in life didn't he?)
Cain
Dravecky

I am seriously scared about the coming seasons. If the NL adopts the DH, I can not, in full confidence, tell you I will remain a baseball fan...

Well, it looks like the Giants decided to keep playing the NL game anyway, with the way Pence is hitting
