I was able to see Omar in his heyday and I have seen Larkin, Ozzie Smith, A-Rod, Jeter and other highly touted SS, and I'm sorry but Omar was the greatest SS I have ever seen and there were many a writer, player and fan who said the same. I can't think of 1 other player that made everyone else around him look better than they were, almost every single game for a decade.
