Most of us collect those we can identify with- which is an extension of the reason why so many of us are so attached to THE GAME: Generally, you don't have to be exceptionally tall as in basketball or exceptionally big as in football.
In our dreams, we can see ourselves homering in the bottom of the ninth! So much easier if those who are actually doing it look more like us.
I'm a 66-year-old used-to-be-LHP and my three favorites have always been Koufax, Mantle and Ryan...but I do love me some Bad Henry and Roberto.
