This series is lots of fun
but with rare exceptions so far, the title is really off kilter. I know it’s nit-picking and obvious, and part of the fun is the disconnect between the term “greatest” and the players listed, but it’s kind of asking who is the most stunningly beautiful ugly person. You can’t have a greatest among things or people who are the reverse of great.
I don’t want it changed. Just an idle thought, and anyway, as the numbers go down we will get some more apt choices, although I am not sure any Ray can yet be considered great. A few years from now, I think we will have a few though.

Bobr
I realize that we are sometimes choosing between two shades of shit. But, the lower the numbers go, the better the player will be. #19 will be fun. It’s just a fun way to fill the time between the offseason and it’s a fun way to remember the past. I forgot how good Bobby Seay was. Also, i forgot about Rick White, he was pretty damn good for us. That’s why I do the polls. Always a pleasure, Bobr.
In the name of Shinji Mori, we shall win!
