    Junior was must see TV in the 90's.

    Sosa/McGwire/Bonds were only must see because of the *records.

    Not old enough to have seen Nolan.

    Mo Rivera.
    Everyone knew what was coming, but there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it. Bats just getting sheared off at the handle against lefties.

    Definitely Bo Jackson. An all time athletic freak.

    Tony Gwynn at the plate, never seen someone that could hit like that. Just seemed like he could hit the ball wherever he wanted and would foul off balls all day long if he needed to. When the Astros were in the NL West those late West Coast games against San Diego, you always dreaded Tony Gwynn coming up in a close game because you knew we were screwed.

    Nolan Ryan just from an intimidation factor though I never saw him with the Angels.

    Andy Van Slyke in the outfield.

    Will Clark's sweet swing.

    A young Bonds (no steroids) in Pittsburgh/SF may have been one of the best five tool players in history.

    Most exciting player I ever saw live was a young Billy Wagner.

    Barry Bonds 2002. Regardless of whether he was juiced or not, that guy was on base all the time and hitting HR's at a ridiculous clip. It was electric to watch.
