I
am in the planning stages of something I am trying to put together for my blog’s
fifth anniversary this June so today I need input from the readers. I would
appreciate as many responses as possible, even if you are just passing through
it would really help if you leave a comment.
Who
are your favorite athletes?
It
can be past, present or future prospects. A short list of 2 or 3 of your top
players would be really appreciated.
Interesting question. Thinking about it I assumed that it would be those players that I collect. Some, yes, some no. I'll give you one of each. Orel Hershiser is a fine athlete that I collect. Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes (in my opinion) in history, but I don't have a desire to collect him. Orel and Jim. There you go.
