So, let's say that you can have dinner with 10 sports GOATs, who would they be (dead or alive)? The ONLY rule is that they can't come from the same position, i.e... Pitchers, 3rd baseman, QBs, etc......

So here is mine (in no specific order):

  1. Nolan Ryan
  2. Wilt Chamberlain
  3. Wayne Gretzky
  4. Hershel Walker
  5. Willie Mays
  6. Michael Jordan
  7. Mia Hamm
  8. Michael Phelps
  9. Andre The Giant
  10. Babe Ruth

    By sport rather than order of preference

    1. Soccer - Mia Hamm - Not sure she’s the GOAT, but the other pickings arent worth a Big Mac. Marta? I’d rather ride the actual train.
    2. Tennis - Serena Williams - yes, I know she’s a biggun, but the wrestling match would be epic. I’ll admit. She gives me the fever.
    3. Racing - Danica Patrick - I feel the need...the need for speed
    4. Swimming - Amanda Beard - A woman named Beard? This I gotta see!!!
    5. Skiing - Lindsay Vonn - Those thighs, and she’s 5’10”. I’d worry I might get down the hill too fast.
    6. Basketball - Cheryl Miller - Like Janet Jackson, she looks a little too much like her brother to get very excited but there’s something to be said for a women who can palm a basketball while still having a soft touch around the rim.
    7. Golf - Annika Sorenstem - How many people have scored TWO holes in one on the same course?
    8. Yelena Isinbayeva - C’mon. She’s the greatest pole vaulter of all-time. No further explanation necessary.
    9. Pool - Jaenette Lee.(The Black Widow) - The woman knows how to handle a stick like no other, and in her prime she rivaled anything found on Cheshire Bridge Rd.
    10. Figure Skating - Katarina Witt - the best looking woman on my list, with the finesse, grace, and endurance of a champion. She’d be my #1 pick!

    Can we change the list, so it’s just athletes, and not GOATS?

    Lots of great names mentioned, but the accomplishment of four gold medals by Jesse Owens at the Berlin Olympics should earn him a seat at any table!
