Willie, Mickey, or the Duke (Snider) ?

According to this book I'm currently reading, Mays was the greatest CF.



Also, Sporting News put him in 2nd place on their list:

I think if Mantle didn't get injured in his RC season (and didn't drink so much) then he probably would have been better.

Again, this is all the stuff I have been reading about. I was born in the 80s and I can't argue with a guy who watched them play.
