    The 6'10" has to make me go with Randy Johnson and of course that would be the Diamondbacks.

    Diamondbacks is my final answer

    Wow!!!! While bigger is supposed to be better? Pedro Martinez and Billy Wagner are both 5' 10" or under and both are under 200 lbs. ...... their careers are pretty good. But with all that being said, I would rather have a player 6 feet or taller. Especially with todays game the way it is!!!!

    Not Randy Johnson

    Nope. This is the 40 Man Roster of the New York Yankees.

    Still a Pretty Big Bunch

    Although not the size of the NY Yankees this team has some horses too.

    Not as big as the Yanks but......................it's the UNC Tarheels.

    Men grow until they reach age 25. Not as much in height as in weight but that might be why one of my scout friends (who does the pro side) believes that you have to wait until they reach age 26 to see players develop their true potential "power numbers."

    Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Willie Mays, Ricky Henderson, Ozzie Smith, Reggie Jackson, Roberto Clemente, Ron Cey, Omar Vizquel, Rogers Hornsby, Yogi Berra, Pedro M, Billy W, etc... all under 6' 0".

    Isn't it about how good you are and how you play the game?

    Geez, may as well just start recruiting the basketball players....

    There's plenty of 6' 3" under acheivers.
