Griffey

 

anyone else want to vote?

 

close, but griffey for me.

 

mays

 

also i don't think that's willie mays in that picture. ozzie smith maybe?

 

I don't know what you're talking about

 

Really? That's the picture you choose for Willie Mays? (not that it's not iconic) ...


really?

Couldn't get a posed shot? Or an at-the-plate shot?

had to get another anti-Cleveland dagger?


Just for that, I'm voting for Griffey.

 

Willie Mays, though its tough either way for me.

 

Ken Griffey, Jr. 3, Willie Mays 2
