Team: Tigers
Current Tiger: Curtis Granderson. A gentleman off the field, and an intelligent, immensely talented player on it.
All time Tiger: Alan Trammell. The leader of one of the greatest teams ever assembled (1984 Tigers).
All time player in my lifetime: John Smoltz. One of the greatest athletes to ever come out of the state of Michigan. Most competitive, resilient baseball player I've ever watched. Won a Cy Young, a World Series, and made the All Star team both as a starting pitcher and a closer. If only the Tigers would have held onto him, but at least I got to watch him for almost 20 years when I lived in Georgia.
All time player: Hard to say, can't really pick one having not been around when most of them played. So many greats.......I do wish I could go back in time, say between 1910 and 1940, to see what the game was like then compared to now.......well before money became such a distraction.
Least favorite player all time: Without question, Manny Ramirez. No respect for someone that talented who spends half his playing time dogging it. Great hitter, but can't stand anything else about the guy and think he's a bad example for kids.

ok, ok ok wait a second. How is Manny a bad example for kids?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? he shows up EVERY SINGLE DAY at 7:00 AM to do weights and do batting practice, he works hard on his fielding, sure he "dogs it" occasionally, but seriously every one "dogs it" every once in a while. he's never gotten in any trouble with the law, never used steroids, so PLEASE tell me, how is he a bad example for kids??? the guy's a hard worker. I mean, I know he's not greatest example for kids, but definitely not a bad one......actually he's probably a GOOD example

Well, how much time do you have?
He demands to be traded every off season, and constantly badmouths an organization that has made him filthy rich.
He disgraces and dishonors the game of baseball with his ridiculous hairdo and the way he wears his uniform.
He stands at the plate and admires every fly ball he hits, wether it's going to be a homer or not, rather than running it out in case it drops.
He routinely decides to run out of the basepath and not slide when the situation calls for it.
He's a jerk to the media that covers him.
He shoved a team represenative to the ground the other day because the poor guy couldn't acquire the ridiculous number of tickets he was demanding.
And this guy is a good example for kids? Not my kid.
You want a good example for kids? Check out Curtis Granderson. That guy is what a baseball player should be. |

I have all day 
He demands to be traded every off season, and constantly badmouths an organization that has made him filthy rich.
I agree with this. that does get a little bit irritating, yet again 75% of all other MLB players probably do the same thing, but don't get media coverage
He disgraces and dishonors the game of baseball with his ridiculous hairdo and the way he wears his uniform.
Honestly, who cares? So what if he has ridiculous hair and has a baggy uniform? So Jered Weaver has girl-like hair, Royce Clayton has his hair the same exact way, I don't get your argument.
He stands at the plate and admires every fly ball he hits, wether it's going to be a homer or not, rather than running it out in case it drops.
So? don't most other sluggers do the same exact thing? Pujols does it, so does Victor Martinez, so does Ryan Howard, most sluggers do this.
He routinely decides to run out of the basepath and not slide when the situation calls for it.
I've seen him slide headfirst at 2nd before, and he does run hard most of the time
He's a jerk to the media that covers him.
He's actually very freindly to the media, when have you seen him act like a jerk to the media?
He shoved a team represenative to the ground the other day because the poor guy couldn't acquire the ridiculous number of tickets he was demanding.
I agree with this....that was pretty stupid by Manny
And this guy is a good example for kids? Not my kid.
well, keep in mind that I'm a kid too.....I'm 15. I don't exactly "look up" to Manny, but he is my favorite player. And I play baseball and I don't do the same stuff as Manny.

Who's your favorite team? Indians #1, Phillies #1a
Who's your favorite current player? Chase Utley, solid all around hard nosed player
Who's your favorite all time player? Steve Carlton, what he did with the awful 1972 Phillies made an impression on me that helped me my entire life and professional career. His ability to maintain focus and show leadership to the young and struggling squad was a remarkable story.

My favorite team is the Marlins.
My favorite player is Hanley Ramirez.
My favorite all-time player is A-Rod. I know he is still playing, but he is my favorite player for someone outside the Marlins. |
