Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio...

[Mr. Mitt]

I'd put Joe in front of Mickey, persoanlly, but understand those that rank them your way.

I concur with you Jerry.

[Mr. Mitt]

The better question is... who are numbers 6-10?

No question, Joe was a pr!ck. Regardless if he'd seen action, He DID enlist and as luck would have it, he wasn't needed overseas. But certainly could have shipped out if the Enola Gay and Bock's Car hadn't have taken off from Tinean one month before the Dago received his DD214.

Incidentally, Teddy also had more problems than a math book and had little love for the Beantown fans (and it was reciprocal) 'til later in his career. It's understandable, Boston fans can be painfully critical, yet the most grateful. Often times in the same inning

My question to noone in particular, Who in Today's game would make theirself available for the Country?

I would put Jeter at #6 and Whitey in the 7 slot.

[Mr. Mitt]

I'd say Mo, Whitey then Jeter...

Think that Mo has been more instrumental in actually winning championships than Jeter.

Actually Mo was the set up man (albeit a great one) in '96 and Wetteland won the series MVP saving all four victories.

Also, you can't forget that Mo blew the 2001 Series to the D-Backs.

I stick with Jeter 6, Ford 7, than I go with Dickey at 8, Mo 9 and after giving it some thought, my pick for the 10 slot would be a dead heat (no pun intended) between Maris & Munson.

That leaves out lots of deserving guys but that's all part of the fun when you make a list like this!

Best, Jimmy

I don't blame Mo for 2001, the loss rests with Torre. The infield should not have been playing in with Mo on the mound. It still sickens me to think about it because I was questioning the move before the bat was sawed off.
