This year, Major League Baseball announced that, for the game’s 86th edition, they would have something known as a “Franchise Four” for each team; an opportunity for fans to vote for the four best players in each team franchise history. There is also something that can be voted on that is known as “Greatest Living Players;” the four best players in MLB history who are still alive. To be honest, this was a fairly easy vote, as the candidates were Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Johnny Bench, Rickey Henderson, Sandy Koufax, Pedro Martinez, Willie Mays, and Tom Seaver. Without further ado, here are my four greatest living players:
Hank Aaron
Sandy Koufax
Willie Mays
Tom Seaver
Let me know what you think.
