Dave WinfieldTeams San Diego Padres (1973-80), New York Yankees (81-88, 90), California Angels (90-91), Toronto Blue Jays (92), Minnesota Twins (93-94), Cleveland Indians (95)Honors Four-time NL All-Star (77-80), eight-time AL All-Star (81-88), two NL Gold Gloves (1979-80), five AL Gold Gloves (82-85, 87), six AL Silver Sluggers (81-85, 92), Hall of Fame (01)Championships 1 -- Toronto (1992)Career stats .283/.353/.475, OPS -- .827, Hits -- 3,110, HRs -- 465, RBI -- 1,833The playerHe was born Oct. 3, 1951, the same day that Bobby Thomson hit he Shot Heard Round the World, then he went on to a career that was heard around baseball. He hit 465 home runs and had 3,000 hits. And oh, he also pitched in college. -- Jim Caple, ESPN.com senior writerSuperficially, its a surprise to see Winfield in this conversation. He never led a league in batting or OPS or homers. In career WAR among right fielders, he ranks behind Reggie Smith and Dwight Evans. Seeing him here is an echo of the respect he commanded, not least for coming back from a career-threatening back injury to win a ring with the Blue Jays. -- Christina Kahrl, ESPN.com baseball writerAll Yankees fans know his nickname, but some might forget it was Mr. Mays feud with George Steinbrenner that helped bring about the teams most recent dynasty. The Boss was banned for paying a gambler to dig up dirt on Big Dave, keeping the meddling owner away from the franchise and allowing the team to build from within, en route to five pennants and four World Series titles between 1996 and 2001. Even before all that, Winfield shed his poor postseason reputation with the series-clinching hit as a Toronto Blue Jay in the 1992 Fall Classic. And, thanks again to Steinbrenner, he become the first San Diego Padre inducted into the Hall of Fame. -- Matt Marrone, ESPN.com senior MLB editor9. Ichiro SuzukiTeams Seattle Mariners (2001-12), New York Yankees (12-14), Miami Marlins (15-present)Honors AL Rookie of the Year (2001), AL MVP (01), 10-time AL All-Star (01-10),?All-Star MVP (07), three AL Silver Sluggers (01, 07, 09), 10 AL Gold Gloves (01-10)Championships NoneCareer stats* .314/.357/.405, OPS -- .763, Hits -- 2990, HRs -- 113, RBI -- 750*stats through June 10, 2016The playerHe didnt come over from Japan until he was 27, but will finish with 3,000 hits in MLB to go with his 10 Gold Gloves, an MVP Award, the all-time single-season hits record and undoubtedly more infield hits than anyone in the games history. You can find holes in his resume -- he didnt walk much, didnt hit for much power -- but hes one of a kind. -- David Schoenfield, ESPN.com senior writerDespite not playing in MLB until he was already 27, Ichiro is going to soon join the 3,000-hit club. He is religious about how he treats his bats and gloves, but fans should also regard his achievements as worthy of high honors. -- CapleThe all-time hits leader for Planet Earth. It seems appropriate that Ichiro is one of those do-everything hitters that people were ready to believe could do even more things, such as hit for power, if hed really wanted to change his game. That he didnt, and didnt have to, instead being great at every phase of the game, says something about his remarkable balance and athleticism. -- KahrlSuzuki is experiencing a late-career resurgence, currently sporting an .802 OPS in his age-42 season. He has the opportunity to add to his already-impressive Hall of Fame resume with another few months of outstanding hitting. -- Rob Arthur, FiveThirtyEightThe man plays baseball as if its ballet, pirouetting and twirling around the field perfectly. The noise about whether hes the hit king misses the point: Ichiro is as fun to watch as any single player from his generation. Have you SEEN him pitch? -- Ryan Cortes, The Undefeated8. Al KalineTeams Detroit Tigers (1953-74)Honors 18-time All-Star (1955-67*, 71, 74), 10 Gold Gloves (57-59, 61-67), Hall of Fame (80)*played in two All-Star Games in 59, 60, 61Championships 1 -- Detroit (1968)Career stats 297/.376/.480, OPS -- .855, Hits -- 3,007, HRs -- 399, RBI --1,582The playerAs a contemporary of Aaron, Clemente and Robinson, Kaline is the one you risk overlooking because he was consistent, durable and very good, collecting MVP votes in 14 seasons without ever winning the award. -- KahrlHe made his debut for the Detroit Tigers at age 18. Two seasons later, Kaline was, at the time, MLBs youngest batting champion ever at age 20. He finished his career as a DH, but was good enough to make 18 All-Star games, get 3,007 hits and club 399 home runs. -- Cortes7. Mel OttTeams New York Giants (1926-47)Honors 12-time All-Star (1934-45*), Hall of Fame (51)*Game not played in 45Championships 1 -- New York (1933)Career stats .304/.414/.533, OPS -- .947, Hits -- 2,876, HRs -- 511, RBI -- 1,860The playerOne of the top stars in the National League in the 1930s, the retroactive analysis says he was the best player in the league five times. Playing in the Polo Grounds, Ott learned to pull the ball down the short right-field line and hit 323 of his 511 home runs at home. He is not remembered much now, but was much beloved during his time. In a 1944 nationwide poll, he was voted the most popular sports hero of all time, ahead of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jack Dempsey. -- SchoenfieldMy great-grandfathers favorite player, so I can be sentimental up to a point, but his presence here is emblematic of how we put a premium on numbers without asking how or why. A pre-integration star, Otts greatest talent as a lefty pull hitter was his ability to exploit the short right-field line in the Polo Grounds, which was just 258 feet down the line. Ott hit 323 of his 511 homers there. He was good, but hes sort of the best example of the Paul ONeill type -- great in his day and his way, but not an all-time great. -- Kahrl6. Tony GwynnTeams San Diego Padres (1982-2001)Honors 15-time All-Star (1984-87, 89-99), Hall of Fame (2007)Championships NoneCareer stats .338/.388/.459, OPS -- .847, Hits -- 3,141, HRs -- 135, RBI -- 1,138The playerDuring one five-year period, Gwynn batted an astonishing .335 with two strikes. During those five years, only Mike Piazza hit that high using ALL his strikes. -- Tim Kurkjian, ESPN.com senior writerHe owns eight batting titles and hit .338 for his career, but the really exceptional thing about Gwynn was that he was perhaps the friendliest and most engaging player you could ever meet. It is a shame he is no longer with us. -- CapleLike a figure out of the games earliest history, Gwynn was a hitting machine sent from the past to prove the possibilities of the present. His career BABIP of .341 is a reminder that BABIP is not a constant everybody regresses to. Greatness sets its own standard. -- Kahrl5. Reggie JacksonTeams Kansas City As (1967), Oakland As (68-75, 87), Baltimore Orioles (76), New York Yankees (77-81), California Angels (82-86)Honors 14-time All-Star (69, 71-75, 77-84), two-time World Series MVP (1973, 77), MVP (73), two Silver Sluggers (80, 82), Hall of Fame (93)Championships 5 -- Oakland (1972-74), New York (77-78)Career stats .262/.356/.490, OPS -- .846, Hits -- 2,584, HRs -- 563, RBI -- 1,702, Ks -- 2,597 (all-time leader)The playerWas he the best player in the 1970s? No, but he might have been the most famous. He hit 563 home runs, and nobody took a bigger swing. Its the nickname he won in the 1977 World Series, when he hit five home runs, including three in the decisive Game 6, that lives on: Mr. October. -- SchoenfieldJackson is like Barry Bonds in that he was initially a plus-defender with speed, but is remembered best as the signature slugger of his era. DHing didnt really help him: His career OPS in right field was .893, falling to .739 when he only had to bat. The first and only Hall of Fame hitter with 2000 or more Ks, but he shouldnt be the last. -- Kahrl4. Frank RobinsonTeams Cincinnati Reds (1956-65), Baltimore Orioles (66-71), Los Angeles Dodgers ?(72), California Angles (73-74), Cleveland Indians (74-76)Honors NL Rookie of the Year (1956), NL Gold Glove (58), NL MVP (61), AL MVP (66), AL Triple Crown (66), World Series MVP (66), eight-time NL All-Star (56-57, 59*, 61-62*, 65), six-time AL All-Star (66-67, 69-71, 74), All-Star MVP (1971), Hall of Fame (82)*played in two All-Star Games in 59 and61Championships 2 -- Baltimore (1966, 70)Career stats .294/.389/.537, OPS -- .926, Hits -- 2,943, HRs -- 586, RBI -- 1,812The playerFrank Robinson was the first black manager in major league history, and on that historic day, he was a player/manager for the Indians. The Yankees Doc Medich got ahead of Robinson, 0-2, in the first inning, then threw him a nasty slider just off the plate. Robinson thought, Hes trying to strike me out on three pitches. Hes trying to embarrass me on my day. Robinson hit the next pitch for a home run. -- KurkjianHe curled his upper body and head over the plate, daring pitching to throw inside. His slid into the bases sometimes deliberately vicous. Yet few players were more respected, and the numbers speak to his greatness: 586 home runs, two MVP Awards and a legacy as the games first black manager. -- SchoenfieldHe hit nearly 600 home runs (586) and had nearly 3,000 hits (2,943), was the MVP in both leagues and won the Triple Crown in 1966. And on top of his great playing career, he was also a manager, the first African-American to do so, and was named manager of the year in 1989. Why dont more people think about this man? -- CapleBeyond the Aaron vs. Ruth debate in right field, somebody has to be No. 3 all time, the guy just outside of that conversation. Robinsons a great choice as that guy, a two-time MVP with a Triple Crown and a couple of rings earned with a blend of power, tremendous plate coverage for a right-handed batter and speed. One great what-if: Could the Big Red Machine have been even better if the Reds hadnt traded Robinson after 1965? -- KahrlRobinson was the rare player who also had some success as a manager. He won the 1989 AL Manager of the Year award to go along with his two MVPs and Rookie of the Year honors. -- ArthurWhen he retired, Robinson had the fourth-most home runs of all time and was the only player to win league MVP honors in both the National and American Leagues. Robinson would go on to manage more than 2,000 big league games. -- Cortes3. Roberto ClementeTeams Pittsburgh Pirates (1955-72)Honors 15-time All-Star (60-67, 69-72*), 12 Gold Gloves (61-72), MVP (1966), World Series MVP (71), Hall of Fame (73)*played in two All-Star Games in 60, 61 and62Championships 2 -- Pittsburgh (1960, 71)Career stats .317/.359/.475, OPS -- .834, Hits -- 3,000, HRs - 240, RBI -- 1,305The playerRegarded as the one of the best defensive right fielders of all time thanks to a legendary arm that helped him win 12 Gold Gloves, Clemente was a notorious bad-ball hitter who hit .312 lifetime and won four batting titles, although he didnt have the power of contemporaries Hank Aaron or Frank Robinson. His legacy, of course, remains incomparable, the first dark-skinned Latin superstar in MLB, revered as a role model in Puerto Rico and throughout Latin America. -- SchoenfieldA right-field archetype, the guy with a cannon who was also a big-time run producer. He is still third all time in WAR among Latin players. But Clemente was so much more than that, one of the first great Latin stars and admired for who he was off the field as well as on it. ?-- KahrlClementes accomplishments off the field were so titanic that its easy to forget his skill on it. He finished his career 16th in WAR among outfielders, just behind Joe DiMaggio. -- ArthurAs much a daring activist as he was a dynamic baseball player, Clemente in his prime could unleash lasers from right field to home plate on command. He was forever trying to help people, at any cost, and even died tragically while trying do so. There havent been very many men like Clemente in the history of the sport. -- Cortes2. Hank AaronTeams Milwaukee Braves (1954-65), Atlanta Braves (66-74), Milwaukee Brewers (75-76)Honors 24-time NL All-Star (55-74*), AL All-Star (75), NL MVP (1957), three NL Gold Gloves (58-60), Hall of Fame (82)*played in two All-Star Games in 1959, 60, 61 and 62Championships 1 -- Milwaukee (1957)Career stats .305/.374/.555, OPS -- .928, Hits -- 3,771, HR -- 755, RBI -- 2,297 (all-time leader), TB -- 6,856 (all-time leader)The playerThe man who broke Babe Ruths all-time home run record also made 25 All-Star teams; received MVP votes 19 consecutive seasons, winning once; and drove in a record 2,297 runs. He was a Brave in so many ways. -- CapleDespite topping 8 WAR four times in his career, Aaron won the MVP award only once. Although his longevity was his calling card, he would have been a likely Hall of Famer if he had retired by 30. -- ArthurAarons courage and consistency while breaking Ruths career home run record help define his greatness. He never hit 50 home runs, hitting 30 or more 15 times while having to play through the low-scoring 60s. As I say elsewhere, he is my pick for the?all-time best right fielder. -- KahrlFrom the day he hit No. 755 on July 20, 1976 until Barry Bonds snatched history in 2007, no one sniffed Aarons all-time home run record. Over a 23-year career, Aaron was good enough to warrant 97.8 percent of Hall of Fame votes, the highest at the time since Ty Cobbs 98.2. -- Cortes1. Babe RuthTeams Boston Red Sox (1914-19), New York Yankees (20-34), Boston Braves (35)Honors AL MVP (1923), two-time AL All-Star (34-35), Hall of Fame (36)Championships 7 -- Boston Red Sox (1915, 16, 18), New York (23, 27, 28, 32)Career stats .342/.474/.690 (all-time leader), OPS -- 1.164 (all-time leader), Hits -- 2,837, HRs -- 714, RBI -- 2,214The playerI once asked Burt Hawkins, an old-time baseball writer, to name the greatest baseball player of all time. He said, without hesitation, Buddy boy, Ill take Babe Ruth, and you can have the next three. -- Kurkjian?Eighty years after his retirement, no major leaguer has come close to matching Ruths prowess on both the mound (94-46, 2.28 ERA) and the plate (714 home runs). If he is still the most famous player in history, well, there is a reason. -- CapleHow good was Ruth? In his day, in the uncompetitve all-white, eight-team leagues, he was obviously the best. But what if the game had been integrated? We dont know how well hed have done. Could he hit the slider? It didnt really show up until he was done, so we dont know. Hes some folks No. 1, but thinking about those kinds of things, hes not mine. -- KahrlFor more about Babe Ruth and the 1927 Yankees, check out The Diary of Myles Thomas.Bradley Zimmer Indians Jersey .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday.

"Im in a really good position for tomorrow," Scott said. Bob Feller Jersey . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.Day three in Galle: a Dilruwan Perera delivery stays quite low; Mitch Marsh, new to the crease, digs it out and offers a wry smile. Its a smile that masks bemusement. You can forgive him, because for the Australian No. 6, everything happening is truly foreign. Even so, the reaction reveals more about his teams attitude to these conditions than it does about Asian wickets.Has any Test match batting line-up looked as inept as Australias in Sri Lanka? Despite well-meaning programmes, interventions, manifestos, reports and investigations into the problem of Australia in the subcontinent, these measures, by definition of their performances, have not worked, and dont look like working. Australia are actually getting worse over there.If were discussing solutions (which, it seems, we are), then Australias cultural, grass-roots attitudes to spin bowling may be worth exploring. At all levels of serious amateur cricket in Australia - from school cricket through to first grade - spinners barely bowl. A crass generalisation, possibly, but broadly true.At grade level, spin bowling is an art to be tolerated rather than curated. The administrative boffins already understand that this approach hampers efforts to find the next great batch of representative spinners, but Pallekele and Galle have made clear an even bigger problem: this approach does a huge disservice to our batsmen too.As ever in Australia, when we have a cricketing problem to solve we skew to over-simplification. In this case, much of the hand-wringing over the latest capitulation has merely thrown up tired motherhood statements about batting to spinners. Just use your feet, rotate the strike, unsettle them by going over the top.Solutions like these betray an ignorance ultimately rooted in arrogance, and they insult Test cricketers. The batsmen will be aware that foot movement and run-scoring are ends to aspire to. The problem is that they fundamentally cannot read the cricket ball. Nobody holds or wields a bat in Australia better than these guys, yet in Sri Lanka their ineptitude is so staggeringly total that it demands introspection deeper than just rotate the strike, mate. Only the most one-eyed supporters would dare envisage a challenge to India next year, let alone a victory in Colombo.With such an obvious and systemic problem, we may as well throw in another one: we clearly have no idea. Efforts to stem the embarrassment are rightly underway. Increased Asian exposure for junior teams and the alteration of home wickets have either been implemented or are on the table. They are good ideas. It has also been suggested that Australia employ a horses-for-courses selection policy for their batsmen. Its an idea that grates against the very fibre of Australias conservative spirit, but an air of experimentation would at least demonstrate some humility that recognises we may have been wrong about this all along.ddddddddddddBut the above are short- to mid-term solutions that will surely only offer marginal gains at best. Australian cricket cannot select its way out of this problem. Nor can it seriously believe that a biennial Asian bridging-course for their best batsmen will sufficiently educate them for the hardest cricket they are likely to encounter - a Test match in an Indian, Sri Lankan or Pakistani dustbowl. Because thats what were going to get for the next ten years, at least.But how do you mobilise a whole nation in the fight against spin? Because throughout, from grade cricket through to national level, the truth is that we really dont rate spinners. This wholesale attitude courses like boosted blood through the veins of the Australian cricketing body, where the advice to simply use your feet, get to them on the full and hit them out of the attack is consistent from club to club.Its similar for those bowling or captaining spin, where the almost fundamentalist commitment to building pressure by dotting them up produces an unceasing queue of slow-to-medium-pace bowlers who can tie up an end and keep things tight.Grade captains nationwide will opt for the grizzled late-20s medium-pacer over the young, raw spinner in almost every match situation when the game is on the line. And why wouldnt they? Try telling a third grade captain to bowl his 17-year-old spinner when the opposition are 187 for 2 in 35-degree heat out west. Why dont I just give them the six points now? would be a common, and reasonable, response. Cunning grade captains dont make tactical decisions in the national interest; they make decisions to beat the opposition - whom they usually hate.A quota of spin bowling per innings has been suggested before, and it really does have merit. Of course, in the deeply dog-eat-dog world of grade cricket, spinners selected by necessity would be further ostracised, but it would be the same for both sides. Having spinners bowl a percentage of overs would not only increase the chances of Australia developing better spinners, it would ensure our batsmen are raised on a balanced diet of bowling from an early age. We could call it the Pallekele Rule.It may be that the changes needed to win in the subcontinent will hamper the efforts to win at home, and we should simply accept our weakness. Perhaps were Roger Federer and Asia is our clay; maybe you just cant win everywhere. Death, taxes and struggling in India.Whatever the case, if Australia do not take care to cultivate quality spin bowling, their batsmen will continue to fail against quality spin bowling. Or are they just bad decks? Well probably find out in ten years or so. ' ' '
