i would say cal ripken jr, brett butler and orel hershiser

 

[redsoxfan1979]

You gotta add Joe Mauer to that list. He respects the game and the fans.

 

[sinocc]

rod carew or harmon killebrew! i have never heard anyone ever say a bad word about either one of those guys. come to think of it, jim kaat too!

 

[David K.]

Lou Gehrig! Best regards, David

 

[worldwideed]

Brooks Robinson, my favorite 'vintage' player.

 

[baberuth#3]

I'd have to say Harmon Killebrew and Jim Thome and pretty much every ***** leaguer.

Curtis

 

[gonavy0806]

David Eckstein - one of the only players to consistently hustle, even on his way to first after a walk.

 

[tigerace14]

Definitely Lou Gerhig and Al Kaline

 

[r5-grnd-pndr]

Ernie Banks, Stan Musial, Josh Hamilton, Thome

 

[dadandsoncards]

Musical and Bobby Doerr. Griffey Jr. and Thome more recent.

 

[Champs96ws]

Joe Dimaggio

So many of the old timers seemed like such great guys, but for me it was Clemente. Kaline, Yaz, Brooks, and Musial also seemed like they were really good guys.

 

[mj23bullsfan]

clemente, ripken, musial, banks to name a few.

i've heard thome is above and beyond.

i would add andre dawson and ryne sandberg

you will never be able to guess who I am a fan of, but I was thinking of the times I was able to say Hi, and talk a few minutes with these guys and they were all very gracious. Captain Willie Stargell, Sanguillen, Andy Van Slyke, and Maz. I guess that could be another thread, but those guys all seemed very genuine to talk to . Rambling on, Pat

 

[Vlad's Impaler!]

Tony Gwynn and Don Mattingly come to mind right away for me.

 

[worldwideed]

How about Jamie Moyer?

 

[lefty32]

How about Jamie Moyer?

I was luckey enough to meet Jamie Moyer.He was great.Also a guy
I know used to promote a lot of card shows in the late '70's and early
'80's said Warren Spahn was the nicest person he ever met.

 

[worldwideed]

Me too.
