    I don't think there's much of a debate that it's these two. One is in the Hall, the other one should be, and they played together longer than anybody else.

    And, to think, they almost had Ozzie Smith playing with them, too.

    Trammell/Whitaker may ultimately win, but Reese/Robinson are at least entitled to a debate.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    I thought about them but I didn't bring it up because....Los Angeles....nobody cares....But yea, those four guys.....unreal.....What An Infield!!!.....No hype.....just solid ball players..... Don't forget Ferguson and Yeager behind the plate.....

    P.S......I was at the 1980(?) All Star game at Dodger Stadium. Garvey, Lopes, Cey, and Russell were the starting infield..... But that's not the best part.......Before the game, Joe DiMaggio commited a BIG ERROR!!!!! The Young Lovely Mrs.Hydrant asked him for his autograph....... He said, very rudely, " You got a pen?....I don't carry that sh°t with me.".....She ripped into him and said, "Nobody talks to me that way!"..... Then Don Newcombe handed The Yankee Clipper a pen.....and he signed her program.......then....The Young Lovely Mrs. Hydrant took the program,..... Threw it on the ground and said, " KEEP YOUR SH°T!..I DON'T WANT IT!!!!"......HOF guys laughed their ass*s off!!!.....She was a Holy Terror then...she still is!!!!!

    TALK ABOUT GREAT MOMENTS IN BASEBALL HISTORY!!!!!
    OH, YEA!!!!!

    Where do Jeter and Cano fall in this discussion. ?

    Ozzie and Tommy "Herriot"?

    How long did Mark Belanger and Bobby Grich play together?

    Todd Tobias - Grateful Collector - I focus on autographed American Football League sets, Fleer & Topps, 1960-1969, and lacrosse cards.

    In terms of peak, probably #1. Strong argument for #1 overall depending on how you feel about Cano being a steroid guy and their defense.
