April 7, 201313 yr Old days I loved watching Pete Rose play the game. Ozzie Smith playing defense. Greg Maddox pitching Tony Gwynn hitting. I agree with all that you have listed here, very good picks. Especially Gynn's hitting, he was special and Maddux was a true pitcher in the way that he went about it, working the plate-control, etc.. Maddux didn't throw, he pitched. BTW- others that I just thought of for me was Brooks Robinson at 3rd base, imo best ever at 3rd and Steve Carlton, lhp with Philly was one of the best pitchers that I have watched.

Nice call on Robinson and Carlton. What you said above about Maddux is spot on and that's why I loved to watch him pitch. Another hitter I used to love watch hit was Rod Carew. Loved to imitate him playing whiffle ball as a young lad.
