Chris Russo represents an insufferable segment of Baseball fans who refuse to give modern players their due.
Griffey and Trout are better than DiMaggio in every possible metric besides WS rings. The Yankees usually had the most stacked teams, and being in the Yankees means you will win several rings…
Mays, Mantle, Griffey Jr, DiMaggio, Trout top 5 CF’s in that order. Trout needs to win playoff games in my eyes. Kelly diminishes the past and Dog diminishes the present. Kelly is wrong when he cherry picks certain stats and ignores other stats. Dog is annoying when he ignores stats. Both are entertaining and perfect for each other. Good tv. But off screen I bet they’d be more realistic
DiMaggio was great no doubt but he played in an era where not everyone was allowed to play and in 1941 with WW2 going on when DiMaggio has his 56 game hitting streak the talent base was depleted even more because so many able bodied young men had been drafted. DiMaggio was playing against a very watered down talent pool. How would have done having to face some of the great black and latin players of the day?
Dimaggio played at Yankee Stadium where Center Field was 490 feet known as Death Valley, if he played in today's ballparks he would have a lot more records.

Give me Ken Griffey any day of the week, and twice on Tuesday.
Mad Dog stuck in the 40's
Trout is easily the best outfielder outta these 3
What about Willie Mays
Um Trout’s career isn’t over so he’s going blow by Joe D’s numbers
Trout is good but he isn't in the same league as Joe Dimaggio and Ted Williams
No comparison DiMaggio 9 rings
Griffey way better trout isn't that great

Griffey easily

Brushing off the military service, those are prime years. I'd take a healthy Griffey over both though.
Why can't you black first and home but not second?
DiMaggio better

Griffey is the greatest center fielder
Probably Griffey
I’m a Yankee fan and I would say JR is the best player of the 3
As amazing as he was in his prime it shocks me how trout never won a gold glove.
joe dimaggio hit 350hr while striking less than 350 times. i don't think anybody has done that. i don't see anybody else close.
the hitting streak is a bit overrated. I mean you can go 1 for 5 every game, bat .200, and beat the streak
This guy dont know what he is talking about.bell kenny!!!!
Bill kenny
From the moment joe d played his first game may 1936 till he retired he was the best player in mlb.
