Who would you pay big $ to see ?
OK. Throw the stat book out the window. Just for pure visual entertainment.
Simply, who would you pay big money to see play in their prime? (could be any sport any time)
My list for starters:
1. Ali (Cassius Clay)
2. Bo Jackson when played football for the Raiders
3. Satchell Paige
4. Nolan Ryan
5. Sandy Koufax
For me, forget the hitters, to see Koufax or Ryan do their thing, for 9 innings, in their prime, ahhh, awesome!
And a boxing match with Ali, maybe vs. Frazier, maybe vs. Foreman ???
And Bo Jackson was the most electrifying player I have ever seen on a football field.
ps - I did see Ryan many times as kid - feel incredibly lucky!
