Thanks for your kind words. Invasor can be called "great", as long as P
Dub's big 3 are called "Immortal". And strange to say that their "Immortality"
was not all it could have been-- Forego of course was gelded, Secretariat was
better known as a sire of broodmares than a sire of champions, and Bid was
pretty much a bust at stud.
As to Bonds, I have no comment. Ruth has two "asterisks" next to his name:
the positive one points out that he was an accomplished pitcher in his day; the
negative one reminds us that a lot of potentially great players were excluded
from baseball during Ruth's years. IMO the player who gets lost in the shuffle
is the oft injured Ken Griffey Jr., who probably had all the skills to be a
Baseball "Immortal", and may not get all the credit he is due when all is said
and done.
