Who is your favorite player from each sport?

[Plainview1981]

What is your favorite player from each sport/game/event that you like?

Baseball (even though I don't watch it much): Dan Uggla, Griffey Jr, Sheffield, Albert P, Biggio, Barry Zito (too bad his career has went to the crapper since he went to SF), Omar Vizquel, Khalil Greene (He reminds me of Sean Penn from Fast Times. Looks like him anyway. Always reminds me of that movie), Tom Gordon, Mike Lamb (Don't know why), Julio Franco, Tim Wakefield.

NFL:Moss(Even though his accent drives me nuts), Kevin Faulk, Crumpler, Muhsin Muhammad, Urlacher, M.Harrison, Antonio Gates, Matt Hasselbeck, Jeff Garcia, Clinton Portis, Keith Bulluck, Julius Peppers, Zach Thomas, Sam Madison, Bubba Franks, Mark Brunell.

NBA:Honestly, I don't really know.

I am a sucker for that great curveball. It is just the best pitch to watch either live in person or watching it on TV. Halladay has the best right now that I have seen, Darryle Kyle had the best I have ever seen. Its a shame that he died so early, for one he was a great guy and also the best curveball I have ever seen in person...I think its a shame that they showed in his autopsy that he smoked marijuana because 1) who cares and 2) why are you going to make him seem like a pothead? Come on, make it private, it clearly was not a major factor in his death and it could have easily just been ignored. Under Dave Duncan he could have been a CY Young type of guy, just a shame...
