A top 5 player of all time, easy.
dmmd98 said:I also can't forgot how Rickey left in the middle of an important game for the Mets to play Cards in the clubhouse. Top 5?? Really?? you'd rather have Rickey then.....
Babe Ruth
Barry Bonds
Ty Cobb
Hank Aaron
Stan Musial
Willie Mays
Maybe top 10 if we are being nice but in no way shapre or form is Rickey Henderson is a top 5 player all time. Sure fire hall of famer however on the first ballot not a top 5 player.
ChiTown Hustler said:I'd take Henderson over Musial or Bonds. This is a never ending discussion. I mean Bonds is fantastic, but Henderson in any era would dominate at the plate, in the field & on the basepaths.
In any order:
Cobb, Henderson, Mays, Ruth, Aaron.

I think Ricky is in the 2nd ten. But interesting because I've often said I wouldn't put Pete Rose in the top 100, and People find that Nuts. Henderson was MUCH better than Rose.
You must be smoking some really good stuff !:lolBIG:ChiTown Hustler said:I'd take Henderson over Musial or Bonds. This is a never ending discussion. I mean Bonds is fantastic, but Henderson in any era would dominate at the plate, in the field & on the basepaths.
