35. I watched both Mays and Mantle play on TV at the time and

to my mind art trumps stats. especially just offensive stats.

Also, longevity was a big virtue in those pre-free agent days; for fans, the team and the management.

Besides, the question was who would I rather have on my team, not who had the best offensive stats.

Nothing against Mantle, he was truely worshiped by Yankee fans and for good reason, but I gotta go with Mays based on the question asked.
