        <body>As a Yankee fan, Ortiz has killed us.  I would say that Ortiz &amp;amp; Jeter are the best in big games with Manny not far behind.</body>

        <body>Manny Ramirez is overrated as a clutch hitter.  Anyone who voted for Alex Rodriguez must have done so as a joke.</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is the most dangerous clutch hitter in baseball?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;David Ortiz&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Red Sox&lt;/em&gt; DH......22%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Manny Ramirez&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Dodgers&lt;/em&gt; LF......18%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Albert Pujols&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Cardinals&lt;/em&gt; 1B......12%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Derek Jeter&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Yankees&lt;/em&gt; SS......10%&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chipper Jones&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Braves&lt;/em&gt; 3B......6% &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Based on a survey of 495 MLB players] &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;FAST FACTS: Players could not vote for a teammate.... Ramirez was the top  choice among pitchers, drawing 19.1% of their vote, and AL voters (25.1%)....  Ortiz missed 45 games this year with a wrist injury but still had 47&amp;nbsp;RBIs in 63  games.... Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who led the majors with 156  RBIs last season, finished tied for 10th with 1.8% of the vote. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;This is an MLB poll from the August 11, 2008 issue of &lt;em&gt;Sports  Illustrated&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&amp;#39;s your take on this poll?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
