Walter retired in 1987. It's not like you'd have to 100 years old to remember seeing him.

That said, I'd take Barry. I am hardly unbiased - I grew up 5 minutes from the Silverdome - but I think Barry was better.

Ummmm...Walter Johnson retired in 1927. So yes, you would have to be 100 years old to remember seeing him.

Somehow I read "Walter Johnson" and saw "Walter Payton". Good grief, that was bad
