Quote:Mookie Blaylock Wilson. He was never great, but that guy could fight off a 3-2 pitch for what seemed like an hour.

 

Dale Murphy. He gave a lot of years to a pretty bad Braves roster.

 

Mark Grace. Guy was just fun to watch. He always appeared to genuinely enjoy playing baseball.

 

Bernie Williams. Simply put, teams have to have a player like Williams in order to be good.

 

Walt Weiss. Solid Shortstop that I always enjoyed watching play.

 

Mike Mussina. I would always watch him pitch, even when he was wearing the pinstripes.

 

Gary Sheffield. Head case, but he hit the ball hard every game. It might not always result in a fair hit, but he made contact.

 

Good list Deacon, except for the Mookie mix up.

 

I remember Walt Weiss telling a story about a HR he hit back in his Oakland A's days with the bash brothers.  He said he hit a HR during one of games with the A's and the fan who caught it wanted to get it signed. The fan either brought it or sent it ( I don't remember which one) to the clubhouse to get it signed, but they wanted to get it signed by Jose Conseco, not Walt, who had hit the HR.
