Bobby Orr would like a word with you.

As would Messieurs Park and Cheevers.

And Ken Dryden wants a word with you.

Had a tough time keeping Dryden off the list, if only for the '71 playoffs.

Also can't believe I forgot Belliveau, so scratch Carbonneau and insert le Gros Bill.

Of course Orr would make the team, Park wouldn't

1) Frank Thomas (the best right handed hitter since Ted Williams)

Clemente, Pujols, Rose...

yeah, you beat me to the punch Shiv; c'mon Spade, Frank was a great player but lets not get ahead of ourselves here brother....

Find me a better season in baseball history (other than bonds 2001) than Frank Thomas had in the strike-shortened 1994 season. On August 16th, when the strike took place, he was on pace for the best offensive season in major league history with just 50 games to go. From 1991-1997, he was the only player in the history of major league baseball to record 7 seasons of a .300+ average, 100+ rbis, 24+homers, 100+runs, 100+walks. Find me a player with a better 7 year stretch than Frank Thomas had from 1991-1997.

Pujols? Talk to me when he's done it for 7 straight years. Rose? A singles hitter. The best singles hitter in history, but still, a singles hitter. Clemente? Average is similar, but no power, not nearly enough rbis per season and not nearly enough runs scored per season. He also struck out the same amount as Thomas and walked significantly less.

Edit: Sorry, it was 7 years, not 8. One year off.

I agree with this. Frank gets dumped upon because of his inability to play first and his bad attitude. As a pure hitter, there have been none better in my lifetime. The best, patient big man in history. If he doesn't get in first-ballot, it's a joke.

Pujols will eclispe him if healthy... but he has had way better protection in the lineup than Hurt. Frank got to hit in front of Maggs for only a little while... the majority of his career was spent being pitched around for guys like an old Ellis Burks, Pasqua, George Bell, Franco, Tartabull, etc.

His interviews with Ted Williams were awesome. Mutual respect while they just rapped about hitting.

yeah, I listen to a radio show called "Hard Ball" here in the ATL; dude actually got an interview with Ted Williams (he has interviewed every living HOF guy except Koufax and Sutton)

But, his Gwynn interview was really sweet; it may be archived, if so ill post it.

How can you top Stuttering John asking Ted Williams if he ever farted in the catcher's face?

Sutton won't give interviews? Perhaps he could bribe him with a case of activator.
