Re: Favorite Current Baseball Players?

Like most people here I've been a baseball fan my whole life. I grew up playing it all summer on the neighborhood lot until the street lights came on and I still get excited every September watching the pennant races and on into October when the post season starts - no matter who's in it. The steroid era debacle tempered my outward enthusiam for a spell but it never went away. Now I feel we all have the opportuity to watch a new era of baseball with a large group of some of the most exciting young players to come along in generations. GREAT TOPIC!

I like this old spread.

Albert Pujols-best player I've ever watched
Matt Holliday-hits the ball as hard as anyone
Adam Wainwright-appreciates the fans and truly is a great pitcher

Mine is Miguel Tejada. Besides being a nice guy, he gives lots of baseball stuff to kids in the Dominican Republic. His career is winding down.

Re: Favorite Current Baseball Players?

Mine are Jeter and Victorino. Jeter because I am a Yankees fan, and Victorino because he's from HAWAII!!!

I'll have include Kurt Suzuki and Dane Sardinha to this list.

Re: Favorite Current Baseball Players?

The following players in no particular order.
Joey Votto (I'm a Reds fan)
Todd Helton (Met him when he was playing in the 1995 Hawaii Winter League)
Michael McKenry (2007 HWL, got his batting glove & bat from him)
Shane Victorino (I met him in 2009. He's a really cool guy, plus he's from Hawaii)
Ichiro Suzuki (Met him during the 1993 Hawaii Winter League)

But my number one favorite is Kurt Suzuki. I met him & his wife Renee last year, they are a class act.

Justin Smoak
Josh Hamilton
Felix Hernandez
Darwin Barney
Jordan Lyles
Dustin Ackley
Brett Wallace

I should have added Darwin Barney to my list too. I met both him & his mom back in 2007 when he was playing for Oregon State. His mom was born in Hawaii.

BTW... Oregon State destroyed our local team in Hawaii. On a positive note Oregon went on to repeat as the College World Series Champions that year.
