On the 1st & 10 segment of ESPN's First Take, Rob Parker, the disgraced former columnist for the Detroit News and Skip Bayless, whose role is to blurt out as many incendiary comments as possible, debated whether Ichiro is among the 10 best position players of all time. Parker said yes; Bayless said no (but said Ichiro should be in the discussion). They both agreed, however, that Henry Aaron is NOT one of the ten best.

Trivia--Ichiro, basically playing himself, guest starred on one of the final Ninzaburo Furuhata specials as a superstar baseball player/murderer.

Btw, now that football season has begun, has baseball become irrelevant? If you look at the media coverage, it certainly has taken a back seat to pro and college football. And justifiably so imo :hehe:

I haven't seen much of Aaron's defensive prowess, so I'd reluctantly agree... I have seen Ichiro offensively and defensively, so he's definitely in the mix.

I did see that show on the local station a while back... But there were no subs. :(

It's the openers for college and the pros, so the hype is justifiable... But once the baseball playoffs start, the coverage will swing back. :)
