    Was waiting for someone to mention Pistol. I mean he is only the best basketball player to hit the floor

    The only other one that hasn’t been mentioned would be Roger aka the man DeCoster

    I guess also with Munson if it’s just cigars, a little whiskey, and on the backporch rocking chairs

    Barry Sanders has to be in. Also Mike Tyson. Jim Thorpe. Bo Jackson. Maybe even Deon Sanders.

    Otherwise decent enough list.

    Nice mention of Tony Hawk. 100% agree.

    Might as well add Shaun White too. If you will die with one slip up in your sport, you're pretty good in my book.

    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

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

    The idea was your idea of GOATs to have dinner with. But you can put who u want.

    @BamaDawg - Nice thread. I almost started one the other day (since spring training is about to start) that asks: who would be your all-time top-5 starting rotation. Also, someone mentioned a request to change from GOAT to athletes we would like to have dinner with...I sorta agree because the GOAT label is highly debatable. I had a difficult time deciding this list, but had a great time putting it together. I could argue with an ashtray about who was best at each position/sport if I had to. Again, great thread.

    BTW - I met Nolan Ryan back when I was waiting tables at Del Frisco's in Fort Worth and asked him about the thing w/ Ventura and he did not like that one bit. Still tipped like a Hall of Famer, though. Kudos.

    @BamaDawg -- Andre the Giant is a great call.

    Serena Williams
    Champ Bailey
    Bobby Poss (David Andrews is a close 2nd at center after watching parade highlights from the other day)
    **** [EDIT: W00dy is censored] Harrelson (as Roy Munson, not Billy Hoyle)
    Dominique
    Misty May-Treanor
    Bill Walton
    Chuck Yaeger
    Gary Player
    Jack Baurle

    That might be a good one. I’ll start thinking on it for when you do.

    Bill Walton makes me think of Keith Olbermann. Can’t stand to hear either speaking.

    I’m not putting anyone dead on a list of people I’d like to meet.

    @Bankwalker = by the way, I edited my list because I screwed up and put Pee Wee Reese on the same list w/ Oz, so I removed Reese. So my post got revised.

  • kelly_bkelly_b Posts: 1,464 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    @Bankwalker - Not being redundant here because I needed you not to miss it:

    Oh yeah, and another thing. the all-time starting rotation list is an EXTREMELY difficult list to make because there are only 5. Do you put Walter Johnson on it over Ryan? Do we restrict it to a certain era? We should think it through.
