The mistake was fixed.

 

[cwede]

Didn't have my glasses.
Had trouble finding Guidry, Munson, Dr. J, Bernard King, Jagr, Kovalev, Zibanejad or Panarin on the list.

or Ruotsalainen, Riggins, Murcer or Rivers, Park, Beck or Vickers.

My List
And I make this my list of sports players I would go out of my way for to buy a ticket right off the top of my head
Reggie Jackson
Tom Brady
Mariano Rivera
Roger Clemens
Tim Lincecum

Currently Ohtani. And being spoiled to get to see Judge a lot.
And Im a bit of a nerd for Bryce Harper.
And I really want to see Joe Burrow up close in person.

... imho bernard king would be on the list and frazier off.

• Hall of Fame
  7x All Star
• 2x NBA Champ
• 6x All-NBA
• 1967-68 All-Rookie
• 7x All-Defensive
• 1974-75 AS MVP
• NBA 75th Anniv. Team

In 84-85 King was the best offensive player in the world. However, in addition to his offense Frazier was one of the best defensive players ever and was 7x All-Defensive.

 

[Ruggs225]

Where’s duke snyder & koufax? And curtis my favorite martin.

And david wright? Wayne chrebet? Keith hernandez

And doc and daryl.

Or the scum bunch?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

No Bernard King?
Greatest Basketball player I ever had the pleasure to watch.

Babe Ruth is the only team-sport athlete that compares to Gretzky in the "these numbers shouldn't be possible" category.

He might even have Wayne beat. Babe's 59 homers in 1921 was more than what 65% of the teams hit put together.

The rough NHL equivalent in 2022 (outscoring 20 teams) would be scoring 262 goals.

I don't disagree. Comparing Gretzky to Indvidual players he has more assists than anyone else has points.

Voted Leetch and Messier. I don't care about other new york sports.

But Jeter did hit on my girlfriend back in college one time and that gave me a pretty big boost to the ol confidence so I gave him a vote.

 

[nyr2k2]

Most of those guys were way before my time, and also Yankees, so they can get f***ed. LOL.

Richter
