I know it was a long time ago and I never saw him play but I think it's Wally Moon. 12 years in the majors, three time all star, rookie of the year.

Knoblauch is or at least was really well known. Not for anything good, with the whole ball between the legs thing.
quote:He developed the yips when when trying to make a throw. Off the field legal issues as well as possible PED use have also overshadowed what was a very solid 12 year MLB career (4 time All-Star, Rookie of the Year, a couple of Silver Slugger Awards, Gold Glove, member of 4 World Series Championships). His heads up deking of the Braves Lonnie Smith probably prevented him from scoring in Game 7 of the '91 World Series allowing the Twins to win in 1-0 in 10 innings.quote:

Wasn't it his throwing that he was known for?
quote:
Yeah lets go with Johnson instead of Knoblauch. I know the criteria was best player, but their stats were pretty comparable, and Johnson had a very impressive Managerial career as well. Plus he wasn't you know... a psychopath.
quote:Depending on metrics, Henry Rip Collins (1920-1931) may have been better.
Doug Rau pitched 9 years for the Dodgers, best pitcher?

quote:
Davey Johnson had a Brady Anderson year in 1973. He hit more than 10 HR 5 times in 13 years but in '73 he hit 43.
quote:The names have already been mentioned in this thread but of those who have completed their careers, I would give the edge to Doug Rau over Rip Collins. It's one of those two for sure. However, I agree with Shane that it will likely be Michael Wacha when it is all said and done. He is off to a great start. Just stay healthy.
Who is the Best Aggie Baseball pitcher ever in MLB ??
quote:I most remember Johnson as a scrappy guard on the basketball team.
Yeah lets go with Johnson instead of Knoblauch. I know the criteria was best player, but their stats were pretty comparable, and Johnson had a very impressive Managerial career as well. Plus he wasn't you know... a psychopath.
