John Kalafarski 1. Ruth (every time I see the Babe hit one out on film it's a high pitch; what happened to the strike zone?)
2. Ted (I was lucky to see @ his last 7 years. He might've been #1 if he had that short Yankee Stadium porch to shoot at.)
3. Ty (It's really hard to compare dead ball era players with live ball ones. When I was a kid, he was the standard answer for # 1.)
4. Willie (Such power for a small guy; enthusiasm a joy to watch.)
5. Honus (Stange body for a great athlete.)
6. The Mick (The last great player. He was so good a right handed batter that the Yankees considered having him not bat lefty.)
7. Joe D (Ten World Series in 13 years. The greatest team leader ever?)
8. Stan the Man (Killed the Bums who then named him "The Man".)
9. Tris Speaker (Played a very short center field.)
10. Gehrig (Huge thighs and butt.)
Pitchers (A different breed)
1. Walter
2. Grove (Interesting how the top two threw almost exclusively the heater.)
3. Grover (What if he were sober?)
4. Pedro (At his peak, I've never seen better.)
5. Koufax (If you saw him, you wouldn't have believed how helpless the batters were.)
