I'd say albert pujols, since he is only "officially" 26, but we all know the guy is like 47.  \n\nMy top 3 age 26 or younger:\n\nDavid Wright - 3b - NY Mets\nJake Peavy SP - San Diego Padres\nMiguel Cabrera - LF - Florida Marlins\n\n5 tool player at 3rd, stud strikeout king starting, and Miguel Cabrera is going to be an MVP on a winning team someday

Current or of all time? \n\nFor Current -- I'm going with the Rocket (Rodger Clemens). he's older than most players in the league, yet still throws in the upper 90's. last season he entered a game as a pinch hitter in the 14th inning and still threw a shut out. He's unbelievable, plus he has the competitive attitude I like (plus he isn't afraid to throw at batters' heads to back 'em off the plate).

He was in the minors in '02. He has been w/ the Tigers big league club since '04.

Vladimir Guerrero. Maybe he's not having his typical year, but he's still the best player on that team. Jered Weaver was sent down to the minor so Bartolo Colon could come back and, well, we all know what happened.

Believe it or not, it was Derek Jeter in 2000. There were no All-Star Game MVPs until 1962, despite the fact that the All-Star game started in 1933.

Really, none of 'em, but if I had to pick one, it would have to be a player that I saw do the most gutless act I've ever seen an athlete do.\n\nIn Game 2 of the 2000 World Series, Mike Piazza hit a ground out that broke his bat. The barrel of the bat bounced near the mound and Roger Clemens picked the piece up and THREW IT at Piazza...fortunately he missed. Additionally he beaned Piazza during the same season...\n\nGreat pitcher? Undoubtably, Gutless human being? Unquestionably

Well, I got out of little league some years ago, and there was no balks, even in the majors. (the majors is mostly kids 11-12, though some were 10) I had a few times when i pitched and it definatly would have been a balk, but it was never called as one.

Kirk Gibson.  He was with the Dodgers... walked right over to the stands at Yankee Stadium... looked right at me and a couple of other kids during warmups... (I was about 8)... as we all begged him for an autograph.\n\nTurned around and walked away without even really thinking about it.
