Caven Biggio, I'm still growing up

I was always a huge fan of the cardinals and Ozzie Smith was always my guy. I loved watching him play.

As a 15 year old, watching Dave Parker win the world series with the Bucs in 1979. Loved his swing. Plus a canon for an arm.

I’m a Mets fan so for me it was HoJo and Strawberry. My favorite non-Met was Andres Galaragga, probably because he made so many terrific plays at 1B vs the Mets.

HATED Andy Van Slyke, Willie McGee, and Brett Butler.

John Olerud my fav Blue Jay and hitter. Just an overall nice guy and incredible swing. Never played a day in the minors!

Loved Greg Maddux too. My son is named Maddox btw

I'm also 36

Of course Roy Halladay I'll always have a special place for too

Love it, my daughter’s middle name is Shea

[stewart1465_PSN]

Junior, Mattingly, Bo Jackson, favorites changed often, but Junior was probably number 1

Easily Kirby Puckett for me.

[Freddy_Sez_PSN]

Longterm it was Donnie Baseball; but it all started for me with Reggie.

[RonnieGant1992]

Dale Murphy til I was 10 or so then Smoltzie, Gant, Justice, Chipper.

Non Braves I loved Junior Ryne Sandberg and Grace

[bonion]

Orioles fan here, gotta say Cal Ripken but when I was a young boy I had a fascination with Mickey Tettleton and his big wad of dip in his mouth on live tv. My grandma use to tell me it was bubble gum lol. Kirby Puckett also comes to mind

I grew up outside of Toronto and was 15 when Jays won World Series. Robbie Alomar was my fav...I also played 2nd in baseball. My first round with Jays was in 85 when I was 8. Loved Tony Fernandez, George Bell, Moseby and Barfield.

So Alomar. As I got older, Delgado, Halladay and then Donaldson....

All-time fav though Don Mattingly....that cat could swing a bat!

[ArmyND_PSN]

Greg Maddux, named a son after him

[nymets1987_PSN]

Cal Ripken Jr and Piazza

[loshbomb_PSN]

Three Finger Brown.

[CDCarter1_PSN]

Sandberg

[DriveByTrucker17]

When I was little, it was Alfonso Soriano.

I’m only 20 though, so it’s been Bryant ever since 2015.

[FranklinSabers16]

Prince Fielder, Braun, and Yelich

[backerrrr44_PSN]

When I was little, it was hard not to have it be Jeter, but I’m 22, so once I started REALLY watching and going to giants games (I’m about three hours from the bay) when I was about 10, Buster Posey and Matt Cain. Also hard to not say MadBum or the Freak
