It is a bit hard for me as I do not really remember what players were in games, and games tend to mix together. Typically I end up remembering weird players like Oleg Saprykin or Razor Shines.
Baseball: Jay Bell, Cliff Lee Football: Thurman Thomas, Tom Brady Hockey: ??? , Dominik Hasek Baseball is hard as I say, being in a minor league town we end up having a bunch of... well... minor league guys. Then also some come in on rehab assignment... or some guy on the other team coming up that you don't know anything about until they make it in the majors later. I didn't even think of Cliff Lee at first, originally I would have had to say Brian Giles. But I have a keychain from a game, and I look up that game and he is the WP so... Certainly I had seen some other good football players. I remember my first football game was Week 1 1990 Bills vs Colts, the Jeff George debut. For hockey, I do not know what my first game was, but I doubt anyone I had seen would beat the any game best player. I did see Wayne Gretzky, but as a coach with Phoenix. Don't know if that counts. |

Baseball: Every great that played from the mid/late 80's to mid 00's. I went to 100's of games in that time period even though the closest stadium was a 600 mile round trip.
Basketball: I bought Timberwolves season tickets for the 06-07 season so I could see all the greats of the game in person that season. It is the only time I ever went to basketball games. Football: Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith, and John Elway Hockey: What is Hockey?

I had a chance to see Maradona when he was in Boston but passed, always regretted that. I think it was at a point where he was having lots of problems and wasn't at his top game, but nonetheless, my boss who went said the skill level was incredible to witness.

Baseball: Bake McBride (he signed my ball before the game and had a couple hits)/Mark Grace (best? maybe not. Favorite)
Football: Walter Payton/Walter Payton Basketball: Lebron James/Lebron James Hockey: Jari Kurri (Kings)/Patrick Kane On second thought, Grace was the best. You couldn't ask for a more perfect baseball player or teammate. Cheers, Geno Last edited by HercDriver; 08-18-2019 at 08:12 PM. |

First Best
Baseball Ron Santo/Jenkins Greg Maddux, Frank Thomas or Barry Bonds* Football Dick Butkus/Gale Sayers Walter Payton & Joe Montana Basketball: Chamberlain/West Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson or Lebron James Hockey : I don't really remember, once mid-70's Blackhawks: Tony Esposito maybe Stan Mikita was there, against the Canadians maybe Guy Lafluer. ..... Haven't been there much since....no one as good as those guys when I do go -- I missed Mario and Gretzky. Soccer -- the Chicago Sting weren't very good and I don't remember who they played when I went ...It wasn't Cosmos who were loaded with big names. I did see Tennis: McEnroe play Connors and Lendl also Serena and Venus Last edited by Misunderestimated; 08-18-2019 at 11:36 PM. |
