re the all time greats team in article apr iscsvax uni edu reed iscsvax uni edu writes dave winfield s name does not go in the same sentence as aaron robinson and ott in terms of peak and i repeat peak years winfield has done it all he has batted in the s for a season drove in and more runs many times in a row before his injury consistently hit at or near while knocking in home runs have you even looked at dave winfield s slugging percentage for three or of his best seasons i still think that dave was one of the better of all time but obviously not the best he was one of the best athletes evr to play baseball he hit line drives that hit the scoreboard in left center field a feat np one has done in the new stadium heck only or other people have hit it over that green fence since it has been remodeled he could field had a bullet arm and his hitting was comparable in many seasons to gary sheffields and barry bonds of last season he is older now and slowing down takes more of an uppercut to lift the ball out of the park but he will always be my hero and my idol there is nothing that could make me happier than george inviting dave back to the bronx to play his last year of ball with the yankees of course he will most likely refuse the offer but who knows for million dollars he ll play heck they are giving gallego million this year having dave as their dh while leaving him time to play the field when tartabull is injured or nokes and mass are traded should give the yanks the inspiration and leadership that will sweep in a new age of yankee domination michael lurie
