right now, I cannot stop thinking Mike Trout. And I'm trying...I never saw Mickey Mantle. Bonds I guess if you count circus freaks. But he couldn't field anymore by that point. |

Griffey or A rod in Seattle |

Trout had an amazing rookie season, but let's whoa that thing right now. |

Tony Gywnn was the best hitter I ever saw. Of course he had no power, but he seemed to always get hits. But I saw him against the Cubs, so there you have it. |

Best player I ever saw in person was Ken Griffey Jr. in Seattle. |

OK. Youngish Barry Bonds was better, but not at the same age as Trout is now. Young Eric Davis was amazing. I really don't see Griffey Jr. as best I ever saw. Great player but not a physical anomaly like some others. |

I looked up Gwynn's stats- it takes Josh Hamilton or Adam Dunn just two years to strikeout as much as Tony Gwynn did in 20 years...wow. 434 K's in 9,288 at bats. |

Grif had best swing, Bond had best career. Eric Davis, no sample size. |

I sort of view this as a point in time snapshot. I see Trout and its like "Holy Shit!" Look at him run! Look at him throw! Look at him crush the ball! Sort of a Bo Jackson sort but with real baseball skills. |

Dick Allen in '71 and '72 nearly carried two different overmatched teams to division titles pretty much all by himself. And Canseco in the late 80s and early 90s was a truly complete player. I'd go with one of those guys. |

Griffey Jr or Young Bonds. Will Clark in 89. |

I am taking this as in person at the stadium, and I would have to go with Wade Boggs. |

I was a little young, but 1984 Sandberg seems like it was quite a thing |

I've seen quite a few players but can't recall specific games when I would have seen a particular guy except for two I saw with my grandfather. One was Rod Carew and the other Kirby Puckett. I saw Sosa and Frank Thomas but the prior two I mentioned I remember vividly. |

That's tough. On any given day I could say Rickey Henderson, Ken Griffey Jr., or Frank Thomas and feel secure in my answer. Best one season I've ever seen someone have: Doc Gooden 1985 Best athlete I've ever seen: Bo Jackson |

If were talking pitchers its either 1999-2000 Pedro 1984-85 Gooden or 2003 Prior |

Say Hey...I loved Dick Allen as JOR... hitting and base running outstanding...field not great. Saw Clemente,Aaron,Musial,Williams at the end of his career.Even Kaline was a hell of a player. I was blessed to see a lot of great players
