Look, living in Upper Manhattan right now, I can tell you that not all Yankee fans think A-Rod is the best on the team...He hasn't pulled through in the big games when needed. He hasn't done much in the post-season like everyone was hoping so far. Maybe this year it will change for him. I hope. But you're talking about A-Rod like he is the next Babe Ruth or Willie Mays ("may go down as the best ever"???), that's a little too much given...Emmitt's already proven himself, and he's arguably the best in his position...The argument can be made for that, just look at his numbers...and one more thing, "Best Home Grown Product" to me also says take into account the entire athlete, including the way he went about playing the game...Emmitt may have been the best example of this in any sport, and I think Floridians should be more proud to have Emmitt represent their state, given all the above on him, than A-Rod...but whatever...In the end it's just a silly poll...and we all have our opinions, i just think the facts support mine a little better...
