Put it this way: Give all major league general managers their choice of Stan or Alpert in their primes. For that matter give them their choice of any player in the game today and he would be the overwhelming choice. Wait till you see what his next contract looks like. If the Cardinals don't come up big I guarantee you that the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Dodgers or Angels will put him in the A-Rod category.It is a question of "what is", not "what if".
List Musial Cardinal records, then list Pujols. Far, far to early in this young man's career. Stan is the Man! Not, Albert could be the man.
Loved Mac in the 90's as well, but ask yourself this, what would Bic Mac do against Gibby after dusting himself off from a little 97 mph chin music from the previous pitch.
