How about Willie Mays?

BTW, in 1955 he hit .319, 51 Hrs, 127 RBIs and came in 4th in the MVP voting. WTF

Not to derail, but we talk about Kris Bryant and how good he could be. After guessing Vlad Guerrorro, I went and looked up his stats because I never truly looked at them. Holy shit, the guy never got near enough credit for how good he was with the stick and I am not even talking about his arm which is probably one of the best the game has ever seen. His body started breaking down which shows me he probably was natural. But, even his last year, we would take that in a heart beat. I knew he was one of my favorite players ever for a reason.

He was the epitome of a 5 tool guy. It's a shame things went down they way they did in Montreal. That team they built was kind of insane. You had him and Pedro at one point.
