No love for Johnny Damon? I mean he isn't an all timer like Ricky, Cobb etc but he won 2 rings and had a long career (18yrs) with close to 3000 hits. Surprised no one has mentioned him, he has late ballet HOF potential.
I truly doubt he gets in but he will get votes for his personality/impact on that boston team

Rickey is obvious, but 3 pages and no Kenny Lofton? or Rock Raines
Except for the fact both were mentioned already?

Why would he get love then in a thread about the best leadoff hitter in MLB history

I would rank Willie Mays Hayes just in front of Johnny Damon.
