No doubt, Doc. Truthfully, if Belle wasn't such a head case, there would be no argument about 'best baseball player ever.' He would have had more at bats and bigger numbers than Walker. He'd also be a shoe in for the Hall of Fame.

Remember the first time I saw Todd Walker as a kid in the Dome 93. The Tigers in pin stripes and to me it was like seeing the Yankees and Todd Walker was Mantle. Big Ben was also a larger than life figure for an 8 year old. Saw him pitch against State. There are more but those 2 always stick out. It was an amazing time to be a kid who loved baseball.

That's 11. With 2 more on the verge below.
then we can throw in Lidge(26 wins), a 2 time all star and WS champ with over 200 career saves
and Billy Koch(29 career wins) with 163 career saves

Alvin Dark LSU and USL
quote:
Dark attended LSU, in 1942 and was a football standout there as well as a baseball player. During World War II, he transferred through the V-12 program to the University of Louisiana-Lafayette (then Southwestern Louisiana Institute) in Lafayette, Louisiana, where he again showed his baseball skills, batting .461 in 1944. His football skills were evident there as well as he quarterbacked SLI to an undefeated season in 1943 and a New Year's Day victory in the Oil Bowl. This led to his getting drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 1945 NFL Draft. After serving in Asia during the war, however, he came home and chose baseball.

Depends on your definition of "best".
Todd Walker was an a-hole - that is one reason why he was hated and he was a marginal defensive player.
Ben Mc was a pitcher. He was great, but still a pitcher.
Furniss was awesome, but benefited the -5 bats. BTW - since he is a dr. now, I put him ahead of Todd walker.
Brad Hawpe, was pretty amazing.
Russ Johnson was solid defensive player and hitter.
Brandon Larson was drafted ahead of Lance Bertman, well the Astros did pretty damn good with that draft pick.

Roy "Moonie" Winston....hit tons of dingers with wooden bats and was a great catcher....also starting guard on football team and became great player for Minnesota Vikings (number 60).
