Just like any list there are obviously guys who I would have put on the list that weren't there, but overall it's still a good list.

Good list. If they did not have Gordie Howe they would only choose know team.
Randy Johnson and Roger Clemens > Jamie Moyer
Well I was looking at it, until I saw a Megan Fox picture and proceded to look through 122 pictures of her. lolQuote:

Well, here's the question then...who would you remove for Earnhardt?Quote:

It is on AskMen.com. And who is she, I have never heard of her.Quote:

So i'm going to say, maybe they don't have a great deal of sports knowledge from a historical aspect.
Probably the greatest women's tennis player ever. I had forgotten about her, but agree totally...she should be there.Quote:

I actually think Dale had a better post 40 racing career then Petty.Quote:

Dave Winfield was amazing as well.
D'oh boy. I have no idea where I got that from. Sorry about that. :o
Memo to self: Self, next time check your facts before you post definitive statements.

Yes, Paige was an all-star at age 45 and 46 and tossed 3 innings of shutout ball in a start for the KC A's back in 1965 at age 58. Did Charlie Finley own the team then?
@michaelg, Winfield was absolutely ageless at age 40, but rapidly declined after that magical 1992 season. I wouldn't put him in the top 10, but as a Blue Jay fan I will never forget his age 40 season. :)
Yes. As I understand it, bringing Paige back was mostly a publicity stunt, but Finley had also found out that Paige only needed a few more days on a big league roster to qualify for a ML pension.Quote:
