    Thank you. I have seen that many members select Mays over Ruth. As a Yankees’ fan, would you please explain why you take Mays over Ruth.

    Thanks again.

    Love what you're doing with the history! Just wish there was more room on the pages for this stuff, but the "hot" items seem to get preference.
