Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2731930, member: 8501"] Mays was also IMO the greatest player to ever play the game. While I didn't see DiMaggio, Mays did everything and extremely well. We used to argue Mays vs. Mantle all the time. How about Mays' unbelievable catch running towards the fences with no view of home plate or the ball. What also popped into my head was seeing Minnie Minoso stealing home. I just looked it up and while it's much less frequent than it used to be (still very infrequent back when) I was surprised that it still happens. Ty Cobb I think I just read had 54 in his career and the record eight in a season. Jackie Robinson seemingly had the best career percentage of steals of home over 60%. Read and truly enjoyed each post but Cloninger seems the standout as it was from both pitching and hitting. Very rarely happens in the game and now we have Ohtani doing it. Sorry that much of this is off the point but it got me thinking. Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
