However, that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in the World Series. B.J. Upton gets an infield hit, steals second, steals third, and Philly throws it away at third and he scores. Upton is a beast, and he's from VA. By far the best overall athlete in the Majors today. I'm prepared to stay up all night for this one.

best overall athlete in the majors? hardly

but hes certainly among the fastest and most exciting

he doesnt hit for a high average.......hes got mediocre power......for a guy who isnt a power hitter he strikes out entirely too much

but he can make things happen with his legs and is exciting when he does

I'd love to know who is a better athlete, athletes like Upton just don't play baseball today.

all around athletes are guys that can not only run and play the field but hit for avg and power

rollins......reyes......hanley......sizemore...... sorianoare all better all around players than upton and thats just off the top of my head

if i really looked at the numbers im sure there are more

i put upton with like a brian roberts

They don't possess the raw athletic ability that Upton does imo.

either you are really just obtuse.......or in love with upton

either way.......thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard

**BlueWahooChambordDevil** · October 26th, 2008, 01:16 AM

one guy can field and run........others can do both equally as well but can also hit for a better average and more power

do being able to hit more consistantly and for more power have nothing to do with athletic ability?

again......its asinine at best
