But, Bernie is to our era, what Mantle was in the 50s and 60s and Dimaggio was in the 30s and 40s. He's not as prolific with the bat as those two, but he's THE centerfielder: A New York Icon that hasn't been filled by anyone SINCE Mantle.

I think you can agree with me on that one.

So, if Griffey was to make it onto the Yankees... I don't think Torre would move Bernie.

Besides. Griffey may be faster, though with the hamstring problems, I doubt it. Bernie does well with reading the ball of the bat. I can't argue at who's better than who. I'll just say that I'd rather have Bernie patrolling the Stadium's centerfield over Jr. -- No disrespect to Jr. Just a load of respect for Bernie.
