Leaving steroids to one side (obviously Bonds if you don't), how is Koufax there but not Schmidt? A 150 game winner versus an easy pick for the all-time starting lineup? Koufax, all the mystique aside, isn't anywhere near Maddux or Randy Johnson either.

I'm in agreement with Frank Wakefield....Yaz is the guy.
I was at Cooperstown the weekend Yaz was inducted in the HOF. I met him earlier that day, and we had a really nice conversation...... "Talkin' BaseBall". But, this is not the reason I favor him. I admire him for achieving something, that only one other ballplayer (in modern times) has achieved. Yaz stepped in the "footprints" of one of BaseBall's greatest legends, Ted Williams, and Yaz achieved greatness. This is not an easy task to accomplish (just think about it). The other guy to achieve this feat, was of course Mickey Mantle.  TED Z T206 Reference .

Clemens, Schmidt, Pujols, Yaz in that order.

I could have sworn Yaz had already passed. Whoops! My vote is Pete Rose though.

Mariano Rivera?
Really? Ugh The guy averaged 78 innings played per year. He seldom, if ever, entered a game where his team didn't already have a 90% chance of winning. Great at the job he was asked to do, I get it. But come on, if he was so f'ing good how come he sat on the bench for more than 1380 innings each year? Maybe we should add Herb Washington to the poll options.

My vote would go to Mike Schmidt, the greatest 3rd baseman of all-time.
