July 16, 200422 yr For me, it is David Eckstein He's small, like me (Im 4'8, 13 yrs old) To me, he's an influence to short people who play or want to play baseball (just my opinion). Anyone else want to share their role model?
July 16, 200422 yr Kirk Gibson. He's a hustler. Plus he has a pornstar mustache nowadays, and that's awesome.
July 16, 200422 yr Edmonds, Pujols, and Rolen but I'll narrow it down to one.. If there's one person to watch and learn how to play the game it's Rolen.. All out hustler and that's what I love about him :thumbup
July 16, 200422 yr Discounting his racist streak... Ty Cobb - 100% full on badass who always came to play hard 460187[/snapback] Ty Cobb was the man.
July 16, 200422 yr depending on the way i take to drive up to SC, I drive by his hometown in GA... Mine would be Maddux....uses his brains and location to pitch...doesn't need heat.
July 16, 200422 yr From the past:Johnny Bench and Jose canseco From now:Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens
July 16, 200422 yr Doug Glanville... I wish he would just work for the front office rather than taking up a valuable roster spot but him and Thome are the epitomy of Class Acts. Glanville is on The Penn Board of directors, He's extreamly smart and just an extreamly nice guy.
July 16, 200422 yr Throw Nolan Ryan in there for me too...badass on the mound....willing to fight :lol
July 16, 200422 yr From the past: Roberto Clemente (gave his life for humanitarian work) and Jim Eisenreich (overcame a disability (Tourette's syndrome) to contribute to the '97 title) Today: It's pretty hard to pick, with all the doped-up players, but I would say Lowell, for being gritty enough to beat cancer and play through pain
