OT Ed, re Al Kaline I can tell you from personal experience he is a very nice man. As for being the best right fielder of all time... I am sure you will find plenty of people who will have candidates of their own. ggggg And there is a lot of time left for more contenders to strut their stuff (I hope).

OT Only a die-hard Tiger fan could believe Al Kaline is the greatest right-fielder ever... The (real) answer is: 1st in HR's ALLTIME (755) 1st in RBI's ALLTIME (2,297) 1st in Total Bases ALLTIME (6,856) 3rd in Runs ALLTIME (3,771) also - .305 average (incredible for such a great HR hitter) - 3 Golden Gloves - Led NL in HRs, RBIs, Slugging 4 times....Batting Average- Twice (!)....Let's see McGwire do that last one! - All this, despite playing on generally mediocre teams where he had little protection in the lineup...AND against a backdrop of hate and racial prejudice (amazingly, playing in a Southern city most his career).... an enormous pressure/burden that few of us will ever comprehend.. The correct answer is Henry Aaron. (Although Kaline was pretty good :)
