Whose a lock? Are you saying Willie was the best CF ever by a longshot?

I don't think so. If Willie participated in more WS games it would be easier to gauge. However, you need to give Mantle an edge for being a better WS hitter.

Willie obviously better in All-Star games.

Mantle won a triple-crown and Mays never did.

Mantle has an edge because he was a switch-hitter.

Mays had a better throwing arm.

It's pretty close and not a lock for Mays. I would give the edge to Mantle because he was a World Series star and because he's a switch-hitter.
