The greatest player IMO that I have seen play live or even during my time being old enough to judge. Injury and playing the game the right way kept him from breaking so many records.

Exactly. The fun part of the trivia question is there's only been two others. Baines and Chipper.....and all 3 didn't get until the last 5 years I believe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Rick Monday was the 1st pick in the 1st draft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw the question I thought Griffey....but I also wanted to say Winfield because I think he's the only guy to ever be drafted by 4 leagues but he wasn't picked until 4th in 73 draft. Some guy named Robin Yount was picked ahead of him. Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 It's amazing that it took that many years of the draft for the first pick to be a Hall of Famer. Must have taken at least 20 years. As Rico might say, David Clyde says hello. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
