How young ARE you?
I'm 35....and most of those other guys had been listed before and I HAD to leave room for Darrell Porter...I mean, who else is gonna list that guy?!?!?
Any franchise that has the most championships in the sport (2nd only to the Yanks) is going to have a long list. I was trying to cover MY era.

He played parts of four seasons with the Milwaukee Braves, so, as much as I liked him, I guess I could change that choice to someone who spent the better part of his career with the Braves.
That person would be John Smoltz.

Nile Kinnick, yes, DEFINATELY.
But, as for those other names you listed, they're all great, one and all. We all agree this hasn't been overly easy, right?
P.S.-the name of the High School at the Yokosuka, Japan Naval Base is "NILE KINNICK HIGH SCHOOL."
(You're familiar with his service in W.W. II, which claimed his life, right)?

Easy... he wasn't as good an athlete as Eric Crouch in '01, and Carson Palmer was better QB in '02.
Dorsey is regarded as just a system quarterback, surrounded by mega- talent.
...also think NCAA wasn't gonna be made to look foolish again after Gino Torretta won over HOF'er Marshall Faulk
$#@&...only Vegas again?? Padres ...gotta start believin'!Bring on '14 Spring Training!

Hard to pick #4 . . . Hendricks? Otto? Shell? Davidson? Allen? Bo Jackson? Matuszak???
I can't choose . . .
Maybe Marcus Allen or Jim Plunket or Fred Blintnikoff (sp?) although I can imagine Davidson in a scupture...classic. Big Ben lives in Lightning Bolt's neighborhood. Ran into him a cpl times at a nearby shopping plaza
