Well, there are a couple of famous ones. Heard of Willie Mays or Mickey Mantle?
The Say Hey kid gets the nodAs a die hard Mickey Mantle fan it would be eay for me to say "what could have been if he was healthy" but the fact is Willie Mays put up better numbers than the Mick. I have to go with Willie Mays but as a Mantle fan I leave you with some quotes from some noted ballplayers, and Mickey himself.."If that guy were healthy, he'd hit eighty home runs." - Carl Yastrzemski"On two legs, Mickey Mantle would have been the greatest ballplayer who ever lived." - Nellie Fox"Sometimes I think if I had the same body and the same natural ability and someone else's brain, who knows how good a player I might have been." -Mickey Mantle
