without a doubt, Mark McGwire

McGwire is the posterboy for being overrated. Guys that tend to be overrated only do one thing exceptionally, while someone who does everything well is underrated.

[/ QUOTE ]I wish you had been here a year ago. I had a long, and very annoying debate with a poster(that I haven't seen around here in a while) about this same topic.

Well, this doesn't change the fact that McGwire's a Hall of Fame caliber 1B. But Frank Thomas was much better and no one cares - why? Frank hits a lot of doubles. Doubles aren't sexy.

I'm going to commit heresy and say the guy who went 209-166/2.95/2486 Ks during one of the more pitcher-friendly eras of baseball.

Good hitter, though.
