I've been blessed to live in an era that showcased some of the greatest athletes of all time. I followed the careers of Michael Jordan, Joe Montana, Walter Payton, Mario Lemieux, Patrick Roy, Cal Ripken, Rickey Henderson, etc. Out of all of them, the most dominant athlete I've had the privilege to watch has been Wayne Gretzky. I don't know of any player who so single handedly and seemingly effortlessly dominanted his sport like he did. Collecting hockey cards was very popular in the Massachusetts city I grew up in. While all the other athletes were greatly admired and collected, Gretzky was like a god. If you didn't like The Great One you didn't have friends.
