Hammerin Hank. Nuff said.

1. how about..

Bobby Bonds?
Gary "US" Bonds?

2. bonds is the greatest hitter ever

but he obviously uses steroids and since he started has become an awful fielder.

he also is a pretty negative force on the team.

Hammering Hank was the real deal up oneside and down the other

5. "the greatest hitter ever"??? C'mon, thats a stretch,

Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby,Stan Musial, Joe Jackson,Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Pete Rose...
He's not in that class IMO.

Best "juiced" hitter ever.

7. Best "juiced" hitter ever. exactly. look at his numbers before 35

and then tell me that.

10. his last couple of seasons exceed even Teddy Ballgame's lofty standard

FWIW, I intended to write "arguably" the best hitter ever, but I'm multitasking a little too much this afternoon.

Me personal picks--Williams from the left side and Hornsby from the right.

3. Bonds. Willing to take steroids to improve.

4. I forget who...

but a pitcher once said that trying to throw a baseball past Hank Aaron is like trying to get sunrise past a rooster. I like that.

Bonds is a juicer, and Hank was the same size as Soriano for his prime. Hank in a landslide.

6. Curt Simmons

said that about Aaron and I agree its Hank.

8. Thanks!

9. Yep

Aaron was great, never had a great great year but but he had many great years, the epitome of consistency.

11. Aaron.

Hands down, no question, end of story.
