Greatest Outfielder Tournament

[Matt]

Ok, so here's the deal. I've created a 64 player tournament to determine who the people at these boards believe is the greatest outfielder to ever play the game.

 

The voting for the first round will end on June 6th at 11:59pm, so get your votes in. To vote for a player, simply bold his name, so that it's easy for me to count the votes. If you would like to expalin your picks, feel free to. Oh, and by the way, the team next to each player's name indicates the team in which that player is most associated with.

Not to sound mean, but some of those are no brainers.

 

 

Babe Ruth Vs. Jim Edmonds?

Well as in all tournaments the best seeded player always faces the worst seeded player in the 1st round and this is obviously no exception.

[monstah27]

Ahh.. didn't even notice that. Sorry matt.

 

 

Good idea though. If i have a lot of time on my hands later in the day I will fill it out.

The first round of these things are always pretty boring. As the tourney goes on, it will get more interesting. If this goes well and people enjoy these tournaments, I'll make more for different positions.
