I'm with Willets, we must be the same age. Lee Mazzili was my favorite player, but I definitely thought Reggie was cool. Most of the kids in my neighborhood were MFY fans and so he was the biggest thing around those days (1977-ish or so, when I first became cognizant of all of this). I don't remember disliking a player until much later on. I hated teams, though - hated the teams that the Mets played the most. Hated the Cubs and the Pirates and the Cardinals most of all, I think.
