I think Cool Papa was without a doubt the better player. Ernie Banks had a great power stroke but never in your wildest dreams can you learn to be as quick as lightning. Speed is a gift that you are born with, something that cannot be taught. Cool Papa was unquestionably the fastest man to ever play the game. Ricky Henderson would have pissed in his pants if Cool Papa played in the major leagues. His defense was stellar and he was a spectacular lead-off hitter.

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

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.

Who eventually scored on the play on a double to the gap in left-center that cleared the bases and triggered a 5 run rally. They eventually won the game 7-6 in 11 innings. Where is What is a true statement. What had a sex change and became known as Where in the mid 1970's. She died in 1988 of lung cancer in Truth-Or-Consequences, New Mexico. 3rd Baseman I Don't Know went on to have a solid career. Lifetime stats showed he hit 221 Home runs and drove in 782 in a 15 seasons, collected 3 world series rings with the New York Yankees, and played in 4 All-Star Games. He later on managed in the minors and also won 2 league titles there. Short Stop I Don't Give A Darn bounced around the majors playing for several clubs finshing with the Washington Senators in 1948. Left Fielder Why wrapped up a Hall of Fame career in 1958 for the Milwaukee Braves where he teamed with a young Henry Aaron in forming one of the most feared hitting tandems ever seen in the National League. Also hit .333 in the World Series that year. Career stats show 3,091 hits 427 home runs and over 1,300 career RBI. Entered the Hall of Fame in 1964 on his second try at entry. Center Fielder Because had a career ending injury in 1943 after slamming into the wall in Wrigley Field trying to catch a line drive off the bat of Andy Pafko. Catcher Today was optioned to the minors immediately following the game mentioned in the question and never returned to the majors. He did manage 3 teams in the majors however, and had moderate success coming within 2 games of the World Series in 1965 with the San Francisco Giants. Pitcher Today also had a Hall-of-Fame career. He ended a 22 year career in 1963 with the Chicago White Sox with a record of 283-160 with an ERA of 3.29. Also was the winning pitcher of the 1949 All-Star Game and drove in a run with a squeeze bunt in the 7th inning. Elected to the Hall in 1974 on his 6th try. The right fielder remains unnamed to this day since he was banned from baseball for life for gambling on games. Even his name has been removed from all baseball records.

In MLB, it would be Jose Cansucko from Havana, Cuba in 1999, just a bit before Rafael Palmeiro and Sammy Sosa. Let's see if there will be a foreign born player not all roided up that can hit over 400 homers.\n\nIn Japan, Saduharu Oh smacked over 800 homers and he did it long ago. So he would reall be the first one.
