Who is the ballplayer you never saw, but wish you had? And Who is the ballplayer you saw, and wish you hadn't? Later

I would have like to have seen Joe DiMaggio play. I can't really think of anyone that I wish I hadn't seen, but I'll keep thinking.

Sandy Koufax, Mel Rojas

In the spirit of the World Baseball Classic, Sadaharu Oh. And Babe Ruth. I know, I know, he's a motherfucking Yankee, but he was also the best slugger ever.

Mantle in his prime. Lolich after he came to the Mets or Carlton after he left the Phils.

Oyster Burns, 1884. Piazza at first base.

I'd go for Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige. Can't think of wish you hadn't. Maybe Vince Coleman.

So many great players I wish I had the opportunity to see, if only I had been born. Impossible to choose just one. I guess I would go with Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, and Satchel Paige. I'm with mole, I wish I had never seen Vince Coleman as a Met.

I'm glad to have seen The Mick, Clemente, all the Miracle Mets - especially Koosman, the Big Red Maching guys, etc. Sorry to have seen Nino Espinoza and Dave Schneck

Babe Ruth. Anthony Young.

Edgy DC Apr 07 2006 09:01 AM

I imagine they would have lost just as many games without Anthony Young.

abogdan Apr 07 2006 09:05 AM

I was there for the record-setting (or tying, I can't remember) loss. Traumatic experience. Didn't go back to Shea until Piazza's first home series.

Babe Ruth David Cone on July 4, 2000. Coney was always my favorite player but on that day he literally seemed to have lost the ability to pitch and he was booed off the mound in Yankee Stadium. It was painful to watch and I wish I hadn't been there. (I know that wasn't exactly what the question asked but it was the first thing that came to mind).
