    HOFers or Future HOFers I've seen:
    Griffey, Jr
    Larkin
    Chipper Jones
    Smoltz
    Glavine
    Pujols
    Adrian Beltre
    Votto
    Trout
    Others that were good, but not HOFers:
    Eric Davis
    McGwire
    Edmonds
    Mauer
    Nelson Cruz
    Braun
    Prince Fielder
    Andrew McCutcheon
    Mark Texiera

    J.D. Drew hit the farthest live HR I've ever seen. It went like 480 feet in Busch II.

    Barry Larkin is the best player of all time I saw play on a consistent basis. In the early 90s my dad and I would go to well over 25 games a season for about a 5 year stretch of time.

    The first time I saw Griffey Jr. in person was impressive. He looked so effortless and fluid; born to play the game.

    Re: Greatest player you saw live

    Greg Maddux
    Pedro Martinez
    Frank Thomas
    Albert Belle
    Griffey Jr.
    Mark McGuire
    Manny Ramirez
    Eric Davis
    Larry Walker

    Some others who weren’t great players sure played like it
    Watched Travis Hafner hit four home runs in a three game series in Boston and Jake Peavy was great in a game against Miami in San Diego.
