I'm not exactly sure if that entire post was serious or not, but it sure did make me laugh.

his girlfriend accused him of beating her with a wine bottle while sosa played with the white sox.
of course, this was before he became a big name..so it all just blew over.

i only put players that I actually saw play in their relative primes...
but, if i'm bringing up players that are my favorites that i never saw play... you'd have to throw in Rogers Hornsby, Ted Williams, Monte Irvine, anda few others
anyone remember how much money sosa had to pay to get out of the beating his girlfriend with the wine bottle?

RE: your favorite player from each team..all time
I would agree with you about their off field problems. But I took this list as my favorite player on the teams to watch play.
I don't much care for Baseball like I did when I was a kid (as it was easily my favorite sport). I cannot stand the players gripes, especially when they take it to a strike. I have been getting back into it recently, but not to the extent of what it once was.

Didn't Puckett just get caught raping a girl in a night clubs bathroom? I think this was like 3-4 months ago.

I thought he was blind or darn near blind because of the glaucoma. I suppose not.

yes, he does have severe vision problems. i don't think it's near blindness..but it's definitely bad enough to where he can't see the rotation on the pitches like in days past
