I should have clarified. Best defensive SS since Ozzie. 👍

Not quite: Cal Ripken was a contemporary of Ozzie, and he ranks behind Ozzie. But Omar Vizquel is a SS that played after Ozzie, and he is slightly ahead of Simmons. But Simmons is still playing, so we'll see where he ends up.

Ok, since it’s making me sick, watching the CWS, name you’re favorite first baseman? We’ll go around the field by position.

Big hurt, crime dog and Thome would be close.

This additional commentary is rated at least PG-13. I honestly would rather see anyone else in the CWS win besides those cousin lovin, pig humping swine bellies from R can sas.

What do you notice about everyone ahead of Simmons on that list?
