As a player,...it’s very close but I think Mays wins out.
As a human being, I’ve heard too many times that Mays is a huge jerk. Considering his Godson is Barry Bonds and Reggie Jackson is his cousin, as——-ism seems to run in the family. Those two are among the biggest jerks to ever live.
So as to who I like better as a person, it’s Hank Aaron. Dealing with the crap he had to while chasing the HR record just elevated him even more. I’ve heard he can also be cantankerous, but he gets a pass on mild disgruntlement.
