    If you were a ball player.... what would you rather have

    I would rather win/have a World Series ring. I know I would be criticized by people and maybe some players saying" you were not good enough to be in the Hall of Fame". I would say "I have a ring" I have a good feeling that more people here would rather be in the Hall of Fame then get a ring. So hope you guys do not think I am too stupid.

    I would love to win the big one but to be recognized as one of the greatest ever would be a true honor

    Cooperstown would be an unbelievable honor. But the feeling you get after winning the WS is probably second to none.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Winning the WS is why to play the game.

    Without hesitation.. a World Series Ring.



    That is way more important to me than the HOF. Those are nice to have when you are done, but those are for people who care more about looking good that winning, ahem (clear my throat--Manny Ramirez)


    ANd many more but lets just stick to the guys left playing still.

    LOL ha

    Wow I thought no one would agree with me on this. One of few baseball players that is in the Hall of Fame and does not have a World Series ring that I feel sorry for him not to have it is Tony Gwynn.

    Cooperstown, being in the HOF is a career accomplishment, I rather be a HOF without a WS ring, then some benchwarner/bullpen guy with a WS ring.

    Re: If you were a ball player.... what would you rather have

    I would want to win a World Series as the closer of the Indians. I'd love to close out Game 7, that would be awesome.

    If you ask any HoFer who never won the Series, I am sure they would say they would rather have a ring than be in the HoF.

    that is because,, when anyone who does anything competitve, they always want to be on top and a W.S. ring is being at the pinnacle of your sport. It is in their blood, and winning is all that matters to me. I dont care how the team gets a win, just as long as we win, within the limits of the rules. If you catch my drift steroid users!!! hahaha.

    Re: If you were a ball player.... what would you rather have

    Hey guys I repectively disagree with you on how winning the World Series is bigger than being in the HOF. Because IMO winning the WS is a great accomplishment, but winning the WS only defines one season for a team/player where they excelled to an elite level.

    But making it to Cooperstown is a bigger accomplishment because it defines a person greatness throughout his MLB career, his passion, longevity, endurance, and ect.

    that is all find and dandy, but it is still an individual accomplishment in a team sport.
