While I would say he gave more effort than any other major leaguer, I can't say he's the best baseball player....EVER. That puts him against Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Reggie Jackson, Willie Mays (not Hays). There's a huge list of players, and I'm nopt even sure he was better than many of the other BRM players like Bench or Morgan
I remember hearing about a report on Rose early in his career. Scout said he gets from Home to 1st in 4.5 seconds. Folks were not overly impressed because the average time is about 4.3. What's the rest of the story...?
