Rules Have Changed Too Much To Find Best Player In 50 Years

For Mr. Irvin is of the opinion that it is waste of time trying to find the man. “It brings up the old argument of comparing the oldtimers with the players of today and you know what kind of arguements you can get into trying to do that,” says Dick. While trying to choose the outstanding player in the past 50 years Is definitely a chore for experienced writers who saw the game as it has been played and is being played today, Irvin figures that the lack of young writers on the poll will ruin any chance of a…
