Fergie Jenkins....
Do you mean B-ball, if so Steve Nash.
With all due respect to Fergie Jenkins, it's Larry Walker.
Larry Walker!!!
When Larry Walker gets into the Hall of Fame (which I don't think he will), he'll be on equal ground with Fergie. Until then, it's Jenkins...hands down. Eric Gagne gets an honourable mention for about 3 seasons of brilliance. Too bad he couldn't maintain that level or he'd be in this discussion.
I vote for Fergie.
Years and years ago at a family reunion we were playing ball at the Jenkins diamond in Chatham. The old man was pitching and running his mouth until I smacked it over the fence in centre field. Best hit I ever made. Mom said the look on Dad's face was priceless.
There are a few of this era that could be considered after their MLB careers.
Jason Bay, Justin Morneau to name a few. Still currently playing and they are very impressive.
Hi,
My vote is with Larry Walker.
Hmmm, baseball in India, what a concept, a billion or so new fans. All they'd have to do is displace cricket, crooked or whatever as the national sport.
But now that we've opened up this topic again I'd like to change my choice from Larry Walker to Jason Bey, based soley on the amount of money he makes, which seems to be the criteria these days when measuring success.
There is only one Canadian in the Hall. Walker was good but I don't think he's Hall of Fame material. Fergie Jenkins is.
