Cal, by far the most popular player. He could be mayor of baltimore if he wanted. Played ball pretty well too.

It's another one of those generational things.Speaker, Foxx, Williams, Yaz, Lynn, Rice, Rocket, Ortiz...I guess it would all depend on when you started following the Red Sox.

How about Johnny Pesky. The right foul pole is named after him and he is incredibly popular even today in Boston.

Good ol' bad luck Stieb.How many no hitters did he have broken up in the ninth?
I think Joe Carter could walk into any bar or restaurant in Toronto and not pay for a drink.

Good ol' bad luck Stieb.How many no hitters did he have broken up in the ninth? September 2, 1990, he pitched the first (and so far only) no-hitter in Blue Jays history, defeating the Cleveland Indians 3-0. Previously, Stieb had no-hitters broken up with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the ninth inning in two consecutive 1988 starts. In 1989 he had yet another no-hit bid broken up with two outs in the ninth; this was a potential perfect game.

I remember watching one of them. It was a game against the Yankees, and Roberto Kelly hit a double.

Todays team: NEWYORKYANKEESFamed sports columnist Mike Royko summed it up when he said, "Hating the Yankees is as American as pizza pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax." i can't pick one, truly this team epitomizes DYNASTY. if my team had a 1/4 of their history i could die and go to heaven ;D why haven't they retired Willie Randolf's number. lou gehrig

(Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, Maris, Berra, Munson, Rivera, DiMaggio, Larson, Ford, Guidry, Mattingly, Williams, Jeter, O'Neil, Randolph, Wang) and they're just the publicized one's, as i read, the yankees in any era really had no more than 4 recognicable stars per team

I'm going with Mattingly.

I don't know if Wang is up there yet. Overall I'd either go with Mantle or Ruth.
