Mine is based on the exciting entertainment value felt by younger sports fans. The players we were glued to the TV watching every time they touched the ball or puck.
1. Wayne Gretzky - DUH!!!!!!!! What's that quote? He was better in his sport than anyone else was in theirs.
2. Reggie Jackson - every single one of his at bats was a magical moment of great expectations. You could not wait for him to step into the batter's box for another chance of knocking the ball into oblivion!!
3. 'Dr. J.'/Dominique Wilkens - man oh man did both of these uber-coordinated freaks of nature attack the court!! Completely mesmerizing.
4. Mark Gastineau - whether you rooted for him or against him, your level of involvement was the same, one-hundred-freaking-percent!!
