Well, now that I think about it, I'd still take Harold, but I'd have to add a 1a) and 1b):

Reggie
David Ortiz

Paul Molitor. Maybe Tony Perez.

I wish I could say George Brett, but aside from the pine tariffs game, no big pressure hits stand out.

I thought it was talking active players.

Bonds is the easy answer for me if it’s all time.

Even in the playoffs?

Yep

And a better friend than Bobby deserved. From what I was told decades ago.

Is he the best player to have never played in a World Series?

I'm pretty sure nobody was intentionally walked more in a season than McCovey except for Barry Bonds.

Come on man, he is not even the best answer to have played for the Sox.

Lefties: Griffey or Bonds

Righties: Miggy or Pujols

Griffey is one of my favorite players of all time, but he doesn't belong in this conversation.

Makes too many outs.

I mean, Bonds, Ortiz, Ichiro, Gwynn all better options.

Remember, you need two things

Dont make an out
Hit a single
