Though it is not relevant to their skill as a player, I think Hank nearly always had the better baseball card. Both are evidently good teammates as neither was shopped as trade bait in their prime.
If I had to choose which I would take on my team, I would probably choose Mays. I always thought it astounding that he was the leadoff hitter for the 1970 all star team. He would have stolen a ton of bases in today's game and there were no holes in his game.
If I had the opportunity to have dinner with one of them, I would choose Aaron.
