who do you consider the greatest baseball player of your generation
who do you consider the greatest of your generation?? for me it can be summed up with three words Ken Griffey Jr. I grew up in the 1990's and i was a die hard Yankee fan but Junior remained the player I idolized the most. Griffey in his prime was one of if not the best players. He was the definition of a 5 tool talent he had power, speed, scaled walls like he was not human and had a cannon for an arm. Heck if he did not get injured he could have been the greatest player of all time and we could have actually had a clean home run king.

I'd have said Bonds if this was 5-6 years ago but it's probably Griffey Jr. I'm going by guys I grew up watching.
In about 25 years people will call Pujols the greatest of their generation.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Just kidding.
Even the non-homer in me has to say Barry Bonds, as might many other people that grew up seeing him on Sportscenter night after night.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: who do you consider the greatest baseball player of your generation
Pujols is the best hitter. I wrote a blog showing how his numbers, acheived in consecutive years, are unprecedented. That's to be taken literal, not as hype. If he finishes this season healthy, he'll complete the greatest 9 yr run in the history of professional baseball. Bar none.Originally posted by VP Richard M.

Re: who do you consider the greatest baseball player of your generation
Griffey, injuries killed his chances of putting up monster, monster numbers. He missed a good 3 years of production due to injuries/the strike.
He'd have 740 homeruns, 2,000+ RBI's, 3,000+ hits, etc. If he didn't miss those years.
I'm praying Pujols stays healthy because he has a chance to have absolutely insane numbers when he is done playing.7 National Championships
43 Conference Championships

Re: who do you consider the greatest baseball player of your generation
I'd go with the following during my childhood:
1. Ken Griffey Jr. (Everybody's favorite)
2. Frank Thomas (He was labeled as "The Big Hurt" for a reason)
3. Tony Gwynn (The most consistent hitter of all-time)Comment
