King Kaufman's Sports Daily

The best fielders of all time! (Or at least since '57.) There must have been online voting shenanigans, which is just how it should be.

    The Great One and Maz are deserving

    Okay, this is only anecdotal, but in my youth I had the privilege of watching both Clemente and Mazeroski play at Forbes Field (R.I.P.). Voters certainly were spot on in nominating Clemente, but I have to agree with King K. Where's Maz?

    The fact that he fielded as well as he did on Forbes Field's notoriously hard infield-- (remember Tony Kubek taking one in the Adam's apple on that bad bounce in the 1960s World Series?)-- is just one testament to his greatness. Both anecdotally and, I believe, statistically, Maz deserves to be number one on that Rawlings list.
