      I'll go with Kershaw. He got his start with my hometown low-A club (the Great Lakes Loons.)

        Good choice. What other great would joke about how hemorrhoids kept him from sliding into third. That three-year contest in the late 70s with the Yankees was great baseball.

                My bias for current comes from recently living in Pittsburgh.

                  plus he nailed penthouse models (center cut, not the fringe pages like margo )

                      I was thinking active, but both, I guess.

                        Technically, even though I didn't see him do it, he played 2 years for my team. (but he is definitely my baseball hero, which is a very rare thing. There's favorite players, and then there's heroes. I only have one, and it's him).

                        Current: I was going to say Arenado, but then JF mentioned McCutchen, and now I'm torn, because I really like McCutchen too.
                        All time: requires more thought.

                          I disliked Harper when he first came up, but he's grown on me a lot.

                            Me too. I was prepared to hate him as a prima donna playing on a divisional rival, but I love the way he plays and I'd kill to have him.
