Who were your sports heroes when you were young?

Postby kaharthemad » Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:38 pm

I got into a conversation with a friend of mine over this. We started remembering the icons in sports we looked up to when we were kids. I got curious, who were the ones most of you looked up to?


Mine were:
Paul Molitor Brewers
Dan Quisenberry Relief pitch for the Kansas City Royals (wicked ass under arm)

Walter Payton aka Sweetness Chicago BearsDoes this man even need to be defined?

Marvelous Marvin Hagler(sp?) Boxing Champion.

Frank Thomas - Spoke softly for the largest baseball player I've ever seen.
Kirby Pucket - How could you not love him.
Daryl Moose Johnston - Always made the most out of what he had.

Rolleigh Fingers (sp?) Pirates, his handlebar mustache owned everything.
Bo Jackson
Jose Cansaco
Berry Bonds

I hated Mike Greenwell, mostly because he was always an asshole (he hung out at my neighbors house and was always drunk and loud). We would all get together for a neighborhood bash and he was always there, yelling and drinking. /sigh

I hated sports as a kid. Only thing I watch now is NFL football. And if the Saints leave New Orleans, I wont even watch that.

Don Mattingly

Bo Jackson, if it weren't for his injury...he woulda made the hall of fame in both sports. Bo knows.

Yeah I remember when he was traded to the Brewers. I guess that is when I knew him best. That boy had a cannon for a arm. Jeez he was a nasty relief pitcher.

Yeah, I remember one day I got to meet him and tried to get him to sign a ball for me. He walked over to the fence and told everyone to get lost. I didn't like him any more.
