Don Drysdale 6'6"\n\nRandy Johson is 6'10" and you can bet he'll be in the hall of fame.\n\nBut as for now Drysdale is the tallest member.

Eddie Feighner...The King and His Court\nI saw that guy strike out people pitching from second base. He was unbelievable.

Ahh yup. That would be Prince Jeter.\nYou kidding me, with those sparkling pearly whites and that twinkle in his eye, he gets the award.  A-Rod may seem like he is but if you pay attention you'll see that Jeter has more like taken him under his wing in developing his professional sports pesona....so that would make A-Rod more like a Jr. Prima Dona.

Gwynn and Ripkin are shoe-ins for the hall.  McGwire will not make it for at least for a few years if ever.  When he faced congress a couple of years ago he really hurt himself when confronted about his possible use of steroid.  Of course he admitted to the use of a certain steroid in 1998 when he "broke" Maris record.\n\nOne of my biggest concerns is that there are players that should be in the hall and for whatever reason have yet to be voted in.  Among my own personal list are players like, Jice Rice, Dave Parker, Don Mattingly, Dwight Evans, Lee Smith, Alan Trammell, Jack Morris, and of course the "Goose" Rich Gossage.\n\nSomebody please tell me why these guys are not hall of famers????

Barry Bonds (90 in 2003) and Harmon Killebrew (96 in 1963) both had 45 homers in a season without reaching the 100 mark.  They were the record-holders until Soriano broke their marks this season.\n\nOthers who have hit 40+ without reaching 100 include:\n\nAaron 1969 - 44 - 97\nDavey Johnson 1973 - 43 - 99\nMatt Williams 1994 - 43 - 96 \nMickey Mantle 1958 - 42 - 97 \nDuke Snider 1957 - 40 - 92 \nMickey Mantle 1960 - 40 - 94 \nHank Aaron 1973 - 40 - 96 \nRico Petrocelli 1969 - 40 - 97 \nKen Griffey Jr. 1994 - 40 - 90 \nDarrell Evans 1985 - 40 - 94

The most famous player is Old Yogi Berra, played for the Yankee's he was traded to them from St. Louis Cardinals. Has played in more world series than anyone else. He was born on Elizabeth street in St. Louis. (The Hill) He is famous because I cant turn on the TV without seeing him advertising something

In 1967... "The Oakland Raiders selected defensive tackle Richard Sligh in the 10th round. Although his pro career lasted just eight games, the 7'0" Sligh holds the distinction of being the tallest person ever to play pro football."

They should just add a special wing to the Hall of Fame-\n\nThe Chemically Enhanced Cheater Wing-\n\nfor guys like Bonds & Mark MacGuire.\n\nThen, for guys like Pete Rose-\n\nThe Criminal Wing.

1. Pujols\nBest 1b of all time-btw-hit more HR in first 4 seasons than Ruth, Maris\n2. Gurrero\nBest All-around player in the game, deserved the MVP 2 years ago\n3. A. Rodriguez\nHandled the transition from SS to 3b smoothly, and is still one of the best hitters\n4. Hafner\nBig DH for the Indians is one of the early picks for MVP in the AL: hits for power and avg.\n5. Big Papi\nCarried the Red Sox to a title in '04, is an icon of the MLB and is the consummate DH

Apparently this has been done quite a few times.  See the link.  Some of the people who did it are quite famous, like Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Mickey Cochrane and Lou Gehrig.  There are 23 Hall-of-Famers on the list.  Others are quite obscure.  The most unusual name I saw at first glance was Yankee pitcher Mel Stottlemyre (July 20, 1965).  Randy Winn is the most recent player to do it.\n\nHonus Wagner did it five times.  Shoeless Joe Jackson did it three times.  Jimmy Sheckard did it on consecutive days in 1901.  Note that most instances were in the "dead-ball" era, when batters had to do a lot more running as balls that would go over the fence after 1930 stayed in play before then.  (That's when most of the records concerning triples were set, too.)  Also many ballparks had huge outfields, such as the Polo Grounds, the original Yankee Stadium, Forbes Field and the National League park in Philadelphia.  Today centerfield distances of 450 feet or more simply do not exist in MLB.\n\nAnother surprise is that so many catchers are on the list, including Cochrane, Tim McCarver, Wes Westrum and Dan Wilson, the latter recently retired from the Seattle Mariners.

Greetings from inside the Yahoo Brain in New York City!\nHope you're catching the live webcast at: http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !\n\nRoger Cedeno is the correct answer.  Interesting note, that of all the many steals in career steals leader Rickey "I am the Greatest" Henderson's career, only four, that is 4, were of home plate.\n\nHope this helps!\n\n--J.

I'm assuming you're referring to the HR record.  I would probably say Griffey, A-Rod, Pujols or Vlad.  All four are team-players who are natural hitters without taint of steroids and they all love the game for the game.

i always like to rank the players by position, instead of a 'top 25'.  when my turn comes to pick, i might have a need at, say, 3rd base, and i like to have a list of my top 5 3rd basemen handy to refer to.  here are my top offensive players by position:\n\ncatcher... victor martinez, joe mauer, jorge posada\n1st base... albert pujols, derrek lee, todd helton\n2nd base...alfonso soriano, jorge cantu, brian roberts\nshortstop...miguel tejada, derek jeter, michael young\n3rd base...alex rodriguez, scott rolen, eric chavez\noutfield...manny ramirez, vlad guerrero, barry bonds, \n\nok so that's 18.
