Here’s One Top 10 Favorite List
Irrespective of their talent, athletes tend to come across in different ways to different spectators. Almost everyone has a favorite player or two. I have 10 of them--although I don’t consider one an athlete. He plays golf.
My kind are those who, first and primarily, attack with enthusiasm and flair. Second, regardless of their skill level, they keep trying to raise it. Third, they never give up.
Please feel free to check your gang against mine:
1--Billie Jean King; 2--Joe Namath; 3--Deacon Jones; 4--Julius Erving; 5--Arnold Palmer; 6--Martina Navratilova; 7--Jerry Rice; 8--Reggie Jackson; 9--Ronnie Lott; 10--Warren Spahn.
