Also all the men and women who sacrificed their lives to save other, civilian or military. This list can go on and on.

If it’s possible, he was probably an even better ballplayer and certainly at least an equal to Derek Jeter a sportsman. ... On my list of baseball players, I’d add Lou Gehrig and Ernie Banks. Perhaps Roberto Clemente. In basketball, I could not omit John Wooden. In tennis, I think you’d find a lot of support for both Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, even though they are current stars. They have turned back the clock on the spoiled brat image from the McEnroe/Connors days. What about Jim Ryun, Grete Waitz, Louis Zamperini?<br /><br />This is a fun subject — thinking about people with both extraordinary skills and class.

Spahnnie was, of course, the winningest left-hander of all time, despite having his major league debut postponed four years by World War II, in which he won a Purple Heart as an Army engineer at the Remagen bridge.Nico Van Thynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072351355184106484noreply@blogger.com
