Dimaggio---Great hitter but not as great as Williams. Great fielder, much better than Williams. Had the intangibles-much like Jeter today--ability to elevate his game when it meant most. I think Williams was a better player but it is not my that much.

Koufax---In the second half of his career perhaps the greatest lefty ever. His career was cut short by arthritis or he certainly would have had more impressive career stats. I think he deserves all the credit he gets and then some.

Robinson--His fame is not from his level of play but from what he did to transform the game. If Robinson was white and played exactly as he did we wouldn't even be talking about him now. However, to play as well as he did under the pressure he must have felt is a real accomplishment.

Mathewson--Dan, defend your relative!
