Enough of politics for awhile.
DiMaggio was a special baseball player, and there were a few great ones.
I was blessed to see many games of Ken Griffey Jr. as he rose to stardom with the Seattle Mariners. Hitting, fielding, this kid was good and should be a future Hall of Famer.
What baseball stars did you admire?

Sadly, I grew up in the 1980s. Besides Cal Ripken Jr and Tony Gwynne, all of my baseball heroes ended up disappointing me.

I don’t want to start a controversy here, but I admired Pete Rose, who gave his all as a player and made bad choices as a manager.

“Charlie Hustle” was a great baseball player!

Completely agree! As a player he left it all out there between the foul lines (which he would never step on as an admittedly superstitious manager).

Mays.
Rose was a great player, but soiled his own career with stupid arrogance after being caught gambling on baseball.

I have nothing negative to say about Mr. Baseball (let's play two).
It's just that Charlie Hustle's mistakes came after his career as a player ended, much as Baseball Inc. for some time held (then-retired) Mr. Baseball's associations with casinos against him.
Just sayin'.

Yes Maam, but their marriage only lasted 9 months... Yes but the love and devotion of Joe lasted a life time. Joe cared for her after the Kennedys threw her to the dogs.

No one has mentioned
Micky Mantle, so I will. No one ever hit a longer ball and he did it with Four Roses Whiskey and Pabpst Blue Ribbon Beer.
