Brooks Robinson - "The Human Vacuum Cleaner" ... wish I could have seen him play. He could possibly find a home on my Perfect Team.

He reached the 3,000 hit plateau on September 16, 1996.
His historic hit came exactly three years to the day that Dave Winfield made it to 3,000. Like Winfield, Molitor was born in St. Paul, Minn., and was playing for the Twins when he made it to the milestone. Long-time teammate Robin Yount (born on September 16, 1955) and George Brett were in attendance at Kauffman Stadium. #4 Paul Molitor

Debatable on Ruth, but everyone has their own opinions, I'm sure, and I respect that fact. I don't know who I would rate the best, for sure, but it likely would not be him, for whatever possible reason or reasons I might have. CD out.
