Let's not forget about Mays, who led the league in OBP in 1971, after he was supposedly washed up. Throw in 23 steals against only 3 caught.
4th in the league in OPS, 5th in the league in Offensive WAR. Not bad for a 40 year-old. Those years he was in "decline" were also years most everybody else in baseball not named Aaron or Yaz, were in "decline". As to the question, I'd have to flip a coin it's so hard to choose. I'd probably have to go with the durability of Aaron, who led the league in Total Bases 8 times, as opposed to 3 for the other two. Mickey was probably the most electric of the bunch, but when you factor in that the Yankees had to play their 4th outfielder every time he was out, he's gotta take a slight hit for that. |

Im in favor of the mick.. all three players were spectacular. Aaron was never hurt and I wonder if the braves fences were pushed back how much that would affect his career
