Rickey was a massive juicer. He flew under the radar because he wasn’t hitting for outrageous power numbers but he was definitely amped You couldn’t play in that A’s bash brothers clubhouse and not be juicing. And if you are naive enough to say “well he didn’t juice he was just a fitness freak” then you don’t really understand what steroids do for you. They give you strength so that the 250 pound weight feels like 200. So you work out harder and longer.

Rickey was so good, that after all that, they still accused him of being lazy!

@genius179 3 года назад

being righty too, imagine if he was batting lefty

@mrmacross 2 года назад

I think Rickey is a bit of a surprising choice for top 5 of all baseball players. Among left fielders, I'm not sure he's better than Bonds or Ted Williams. But I think if you had to come up with a dream roster, selecting 25 guys to fill all positions plus backups, Rickey makes the list for sure.

@bondsgoat25 Год назад

@kure who would you replace Ricky with?

@bondsgoat25 Год назад

@kure that list is 4 fifths of the way perfect, except i would replace hank Aaron with Rickey or Ted Williams. Hank was not much of a base stealer/runner in his hitting prime, despite narratives and while he won gold gloves, based on old defensive metrics and the eye test I don’t think he was a stand out defender like mays for example. So with that considered it would just be his hitting and Williams was far superior in that department with their careers even overlapping.. and Rickey was a worse power guy but way better at everything else, base running, base stealing, defense, eye/on-base skills! But hey that’s just my opinion, what do you think?

He left Babe Ruth out. Barry Bonds. How about Lou Gehrig? Barry probably due to gas, but everyone else was taking, and I'm not absolving jr here either of it. But, to leave at least Babe off that list, there's a scent of racism here. And come on, Lou Gehrig, had he not come down with that despicable disease, he would've had all time top numbers as well. Top 5- 1- Babe Ruth 2- Barry Bonds 3- Lou Gehrig 4- Ted Williams 5- Willie Mays - this one was tough. A lot of guys could've been put in there. Honorable mentions- Hank Aaron, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Ken Griffey jr, These next guys I don't care if there's steroids, or they're just known as dopes, but they put up some monster runs- Mark Mcgwire, Sammy Sosa and Manny Ramirez. They've got to be mentioned if Barry is. And they were virtually ALL taking back then---- and are nearly all taking now, albeit maybe, maybe in less dosages to appear less obvious.

@CipherSerpico Год назад

It’s a lot easier to be the best player in the League-When that league only allows players of one race. That isn’t some kind of a “Political statement”; It’s basic Math. It’s easier to be #1/100 players, than it is #1/10,000 players. On top of that, it’s also much easier to dominate a Sport/Competition-The newer/younger the Sport is. As a game evolves, competition becomes less and less exploitable. People get better and better, they learn from their own mistakes and they get to learn from the mistakes of others, etc. etc. All of those things play a significant factor. So, it’s perfectly logical to assume that Babe Ruth wasn’t the Greatest Player of All Time.

Especially in this swing for the fences era. Think Trout playing in Coors. And as for Rose, there's an argument that if Ichiro would've started his career here as opposed to Japan, he would've been the guy to break the hits record.

Mays, Aaron, Bonds, Clemente, Bench, Ichiro, Jr, Ripken, Ruth, Mantle. Undisputed top 10 the order is whatever but they are the best 10 position players. Gibson, Koufax, Maddox, Ryan, Carlton, Johnson, Palmer, Pedro, Mariano, Fingers. Top ten pitchers all time again order is whatever

@fightclub6291 Год назад

Somewhere....in my house....there's a picture I took of Rickey Henderson taking a picture of the Target dog outside a Minneapolis hotel and him upset that that dog didn't have the Target paint on his face. "It's just a regular dog?!" (I'm sorry Ricky....it's just a regular dog)

@robertcatania1120 Год назад

Griffey is my favorite all-time player and best I have seen in my lifetime. Is he the best ever I don't know, because I haven't seen everyone play. Griffey picked his top 5 and all are African American players, not reading too much into that, but clearly he had role models that he followed and looked up to in the sport.

@erikshoffman Год назад

Barry Bonds is probably, if you have an open mind with the steroid topic included…… a logical argument and reasonable one….. Barry Bonds

@craigfrye2035 Год назад

I love griff but this is Foolishness. If Ruth and bonds ain't on the list. Throw the whole list out. He's close with Rickey. Rickey was great but he doesn't belong in the top 5 nor Bob Gibson. Or Robinson. Great man and obviously a great player. Opened up alot doors but are we rating best players or not?

@kennethbunch673 3 года назад

Ken you are my favorite player of all times but you didn’t put my second favorite player on your list.....The greatest short stop of all times...Ozzie Smith.

@conrad463 3 года назад

I really like Ozzie but he's not even necessarily HOF worthy. He has a career batting average of .262, zero MVP's, and a total of 28 home runs in 19 years. Ozzie dominated on defense and known as an outstanding base runner but I'm not sure that makes him HOF worthy.

@tomjoseph1307 3 года назад

@@tomjoseph1307 He's one of the greatest defensive players of all time but I don't know if that necessarily makes him HOF worthy. Hard to put a career .262 hitter in the Hall when you have other players I think that are a little more deserving. Just my two cents.....

@gabriels1163 Год назад

His list is good, but not correct. Barry Bonds and Babe Ruth are the 2 best of all time, mays probably third. Jackie Robinson isnt in the top 5 for sure, he was great but not that great. Its harder to quantify pitchers but I would say Bob Gibson isnt the best pitcher of all time, and certainly not in the top 5 players of all time.
