    Josh Gibson, Satchel Paige or any of those Negró League greats that we're denied the opportunity of playing in the Majors since little to no video of their exploits exists.

  • Lefty Grove. Without a doubt the greatest left handed pitcher of all time.

    Of all the great left handed 300 game winners in the Hall of Fame, he had the highest career winning percentage of .680

    Won exactly 300 games and lost only 141. Plus he led league 5 times in ERA and had 7 consecutive league leading strike out seasons.1925 through 1931. Pitched only 17 years and was the league leader in winning percentage 9 times. And both of his home parks, Fenway in Boston, 8 years, and Shibe Park in Philadelphia, 9 years, were hitter's havens.

    I would have loved to watch Ted Williams play. He is in my opinion the best to ever play the game. He won the triple crown twice and he also had a career .344 hitter as well as second all time in OPS with a 1.11. Plus he lost 3 years to military services (ages 24-26).

    Randy Johnson, he may of played not that long ago but I still was to young to see him in his prime, he is my favorite player in mlb history, with his blazing fastball and filthy slider, his massive height, his terrifying glare on the mound, in his prime he was one of the most dominating pitchers of all time and unfortunately I did'nt really no about him until I was older so I never saw him at his best, but he was awesome.

    Babe Ruth died 3 weeks before I was born, he is the one guy I am sorry I never saw play.
