Poll question: Best Center Fielder of All Time
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 04:50 PM by WeRQ4U
I vote for Puckett simply because I'm a TWins fan. If not him, then Ty Cobb.

1. Well as much as I'd like to vote for Kirby...
Willy Mays was the greatest player of all time in my book...so gotta vote for him...but Kirby belongs on that list!!!

I agree with SaveElmer
I loved Kirby as a player and he's an all time great, but Willie Mays was Willie-freakin-Mays. The Say Hey Kid got my vote.

3. Toss up b/w Cobb and Mays.
Playing in two very different eras, it is tough to compare them ,b ut they are head and shoulders above anyone else who ever played in center. The next step down is crowded with great players like Tris Speaker, Mickey Mantle, Joe Dimaggio and Duke Snider.
These were all GREAT players though.
