By the slimmest of margins, the 1980s beat out the 2000s for the next top 1,000 players of the decade countdown. Should be able to start the countdown next week.
From Phil Clark to Barry Bonds, the 90's countdown is complete! I'll need a week to get the next decade countdown put together but one problem...we still don't know what decade will be next. As of this post it's a dead heat between the 1980's and 2000's. So if you're in line, stay in line! Vote!
After eight months I’m almost done counting down the top 1,000 MLB players of the 90’s. But I’m not done ranking baseball players so it’s time hold an informal poll. Which decade would you like to see next on the 1,000 player countdown, the 1980s or 2000s? Please sound off in the comments.
