Hank Aaron. Aaron was a marginally better hitter than Mays. Mays was better than Aaron as a fielder, although Aaron did win 3 GGs. Aaron was in the top three in MVP voting 7 times, Mays 6 times. Aaron in my opinion is a real gentleman; Mays a jerk.

Al Kaline was a pretty good defensive right fielder too. He was just flawless. Always in the right spot and seemed to always make the right play. A great defensive center fielder who has gotten no love at all was Richie Ashburn. Bill James went on and on about what a ballhawk he was. Terry Moore was supposed to be pretty special too, as was Dom DiMaggio. When they were both playing, some said Dom was a better outfielder than his brother.
