Who is the greatest BB player you ever SAW?

Given the limitations of the question, I cannot list TED WILLIAMS because I only saw him play a few times and exclusively on a grainy, black and white 1950's TV whose horizontal hold often failed.

So, for hitters I would go with Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle and Ken Griffey, Jr. Had A-Rod not been involved with steroids, he would get my nod because (especially) when he was younger, he was talented and hustled on everything . At DH, none has equalled Edgar Martinez.

Among pitchers, Sandy Koufax in his prime was virtually unbeatable but Warren Spahn remained great twice as long as Koufax. Today, Cliff Lee reminds me very much of Koufax. I never saw Bob Feller but he was still pretty good twenty years after his retirement. In the end, I'll go with Spahnie!
