Do you want us to pick one player per decade per sport or 5 players per decade per sport?

His question is confusing. Does he want the best players with Rcs in the decade or best player in the decade also with a rookie card in the decade?

I was looking for the best players of the decade, whose rc was also in that decade. And I did change to 5 players per decade and per sport

Someone brought up Reggie Jackson, I could see why u want to list him as a 70's contender, his rookie was 1969, But does he make the top 5 of 60's players, whose rc was in the 60's? actually, maybe. It doesn't matter when their career ended.

Then that pretty much eliminates anyone who didn't have a RC the first couple years of the decade.

50s Mays, Mantle, Mathews, Ford, Minoso
60s Yaz, McCovey, Santo, Marichal, Billy Williams
70s Munson, Blyleven, Schmidt, Grich, Cedeno
80s Henderson, Raines, Ripken, Sandberg, Boggs
90s Thomas, Bagwell, Pedro.Martinez, Walker, Loften
00s Pujols, Ichiro, Utley, Johan Santana, Roy Oswalt

John Elway. Best player, any sport, any decade.

Great idea for thread. I will enjoy reading the lists.

You're from Colorado?

Although his RC is from 1969, gotta give the 70's to 'Mr. October,' Reginald Martinez Jackson.

No. Washington DC. But I have been a Broncos fan since I was about 7 (I am 45 now). And I am now super excited for Drew Locke!
