I’ve never rooted for a player more than Josh Hamilton. Part of that was his backstory of course.

But all-time…

really loved Maddux up until the time he turned me down for an autograph in St. Louis, when my dad and I were waiting on our floor.at the elevator Not even at the lobby. Literally us 3 and nobody else. He said sorry kid, stopped doing autographs a while ago I thought my dad was going to assault him. Sooo we didn’t get on that elevator down and waited for the next one. Totally soured me on Maddux

Maddux was a notorious a-hole towards fans during his playing days. It was well known.

The two guys I've always wanted to see were Ted Williams and Sandy Koufax

George Brett. I was heartbroken in 1980 and elated in ‘85. My plan of marrying him didn’t happen, so instead I named my daughter Brett.

Historically? Ted Williams,
that I saw play? the best Barry Bonds,
I loved watching Ozzy play defense I always paid attention to him when the Cardinals were playing the Astros
my current favorite is Altuve I love his ability to be a big man in the big moments
