It would be easier if it were only guys who were ALWAYS first baseman

Hatchet, I mean eliminate guys who started at other positions and moved to first or played another position like McCovey

mccovey started at 1B. If you played most of your career at 1B, that's good enough for me.

Yeah, I frequently mistake Jimmy and Nellie Foxx and was thinking Jimmy was not always a first baseman.

Carry on


No Frank Or Albert though?

steroid era is too tough. I think most of those in consideration are on the juice. I am convinced pujols is/was juiced. doesn't pass the eye test to me. add them to your list if you want.

DS just being a dickbag. Infield warmups occur in every MLB game.

Mattingly is one of the best of the last 50 years.

I guess the great Don Mattingly was not allowed to warm up before the game, according to President Darkside. Thank goodness Darkside is not the President of baseball, or else there would be countless pulled muscles in games.

The great Don Mattingly is my favorite Glorious Yankee amongst those players I actually saw play. When you look up "that son of a bitch could play" in the dictionary, there is a picture of the great Don Mattingly. Go ahead, hit a screaming line drive down the first base line. The great Don Mattingly will catch it - with his bleeping face if he has to. Oh, are you trying to sneak a monster curve ball past the great Don Mattingly? Consider that monster curveball deposited off the wall for a stand up double.

I literally begin weeping when I think that this great and Glorious Yankee never won a World Series.

No. He wasn't better than Fred McGriff or Boog Powell. Guys nobody even mentions.

If you go by peak years, Donnie Baseball had a 3-4 year run you can put up against anybody. He had the misfortune of playing between Yankee dynasties, when Steinbrenner was in full-on crazyman mode.
