I noticed you said...not going too far back into history.

This is a list of your favorite players. Not the best of all time. I don't know of anyone now who can honestly says Babe Ruth is their favorite player. He may be the best, but I never saw him play, so he isn't one of my favorites.

Well you also should define the distinction between the fantasy and the otherwise...because from an offensive/fantasy point of view Oszzie Smith is as about as useful as Rey Ordonez or Christian Guzman was. I sort of picked players I have seen that were very good and either liked or did not hate.

I'm sure there are guys that I'm forgetting, but these are basically my favorite players of the 80s and 90s.

I should have been more clear.

There are players who I have grown attached too because of how they have produced for my fantasy teams. Oswalt is my example. I'm not an Astro fan, but because of his production since he came up and since I try to get him on my teams, I have become a big Oswalt fan. That is where I am coming from.
