Obviously I am unfortunately a Pittsburgh Pirates fan.

John Cerutti was a true gentleman. So tragic that he passed away so suddenly and at such a young age. I live near Toronto and he is well loved. I had the opportunity to work with him at a charity golf tournament. He was close to being a professional golfer as well. A genuinely, good human being who loved his family more than anything else. He died way too young.
My Favorite Players:
Dale Murphy
Craig Biggio
John Olerud
Robin Ventura
Tim Raines
The BIG CAT Andres Galarraga
Tim THE ROCK Raines
Jose Canseco (just loved watching him hit)
The HITMAN Don Mattingly (ditto)
El PRESIDENTE Denis Martinez
Jay
Dave Winfield
Cal Ripken
Roger Clemens
Nolan Ryan
Wade Boggs
MY GOLD TYPE SET https://pcgs.com/setregistry/type-sets/complete-type-sets/gold-type-set-12-piece-circulation-strikes-1839-1933/publishedset/321940
Strawberry
Pedro
Brett
Rickey henderson
Dave
Jim Edmonds -- never know what you might see happen
Rickey Henderson -- especially the younger Rickey. Once he got on base he was a threat to steal his way around the bases
Brooks Robinson -- great fielder
Dwight Evans -- great fielder ... great arm.
Wade Boggs.
Honorable mention to Yaz for the way he duped so many hitters in Fenway with his mastery of playing the monster and to Brian Downing and Troy Glaus!
I'm obviously and Angel fan and an old school Sox fan.
