Barry Bonds

Babe Ruth

Lance Berkman, cuz he is real, no ego, just a regular dude like you and me. He could be the local grocer or the meter reader, or the postman, wouldn't matter, he would be the same. Gotta love a multi-millionaire without over-inflated ego, rare thing these days.

Slightly biased here as a Bluejays fan (but then I expect everyone else is picking players from their favorite clubs too so maybe I have nothing to apologise for), but mine would be Roy Halladay... he is just so hard to hit, just being out on the mound relaxes his teammates so much, he is such a great leader by example. He is uncomplicated, doesn't look to strike out 15 batters every game, just goes about the business of getting outs and winning games and does it better than most other pitchers in the game. Also gotta love his loyalty for sticking with the Jays since he debuted in 1998 and not cashing in on his huge market value by testing free agency with another club.

Lou Gehrig.

Currently playing, A.J. Pierzynski. Might not be the nicest guy in the world (those reports otherwise are quite exaggerated), but I like his attitude. "Nicest" baseball player would go to Jim Thome.

Cecil Fielder. The last name says it all.

Brian Roberts!

As much as he is hated i love Shea Hillenbrand. More favorites are Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, Nomar Garciaparra, and Pedro Martinez

Of all time, Pete Rose, in today's game, I go for the unsung hero types who just shut up and play, try hard every day, play through injuries and don't try to get unwarranted attention for themselves. Guys like Benji Molina in SF, or Marc Ellis in Oakland. I think my favorite guy today though is Ichiro Suzuki, the guy is a hit machine.

George...Bush...

Joe Bover... played for the A's when i was a kid and signed my mitt for me, i was hunting for a Mark McGuire or Jose Canseco at the time, but i was happy to have someone sign it!

Reggie Jackson

Right now, Brian Roberts. All time, Cal Ripken, Jr. ...Can you tell I'm an O's fan! :)

The single most dominant man to step foot on the diamond, and my all time favorite player is Pedro Martinez. Being a Sox fan my favorite player right now is Lars Anderson(power hitting 1b in minor leagues) future AL MVP.

I'm finding myself rooting for Kosuke Fukudome (Chicago Cubs) a lot lately.

Mr Derek Jeter .

BARRYBONDS AND TONY GWYNN!

Derek Jeter

Aki and Upton...

Lou Gherig.

ernie mr cub banks

I have a few, but my favorite would probably have to be Jeff Francoeur. He's the nicest guy I've ever met. He's not like some of the guys who think their the sh*t and don't sign for anyone. Jeff would sign for every person who came into a game if they all stood in line to get his autograph. He may not be the best, but he's defiantly not the worse and he's so good with the fans. Best of all has one of the best cannons in the game today.

Alex Rodriguez

Ichiro Suzuki

Derek Jeter No Contest

For me it's a toss up between Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter.

Nolan Ryan, he was a great pitcher.

a-roid

reggie willits Angels baby

Either George Brett or Rod Carew.......or Mike Schmidt.

Babe Ruth !

Babe Ruth. No one can or has touched him yet!

Jabba Chamberlain for the NY Yankees. Struck out 12 in less than 6 innings last night but took the loss. He's just made the starting rotation this Spring and needs to completely adjust.

I don't have one because I like a real sport like football. So,none of these overpaid steroid pumped fools are a favorite of mine.

Josh Hamilton

Current: Ian Kinsler Michael Young Nick Markakis Brian Roberts Josh Hamilton Retired: Cal Ripken Jr. Brooks Robinson Nolan Ryan Jim Palmer Yogi Berra

Ted Williams :-)

Ryan Sweeney, he was a rookie last year, on the A's

Right now it's Mariano Rivera.

The best catcher of all time: Ivan Rodriguez.

Juan Pierre. He replaced Manny on the Dodgers during the 50 game suspension and did better than Manny!!!

Andre Ethier, rf, LA Dodgers.

um, Tiger Woods????????? lol, j/k. I don't have one.

Carl Michael Yastrzemski

George Herman Ruth

Derek Jeter

Derek Jeter, he is a gentleman and never says anything bad about anyone. He is truly a Team player. Always gives his best in each game.
