    Top 10 Athletes Succeeding after 40

    http://www.askmen.com/top_10/sports/...fter-40_1.html

    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.

    Yeah, I would have taken one of them over Moyer, too. Aside from that...I can't really find fault with it.

    Moyer maybe. Sr. raced until he died at age 53.

    Martina Navratilova? I didn't see anything about men only and since Nicklaus, Foreman and Petty are in there individual sports are included as well and that makes her exclusion a massive oversight IMHO. Whatever you think of her to leave her off a top 10 athletes past 40 list along with Clemens and Johnson sort of makes it a bit of a farce.

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

    This is a magazine that has
    next to the TOP 10.
    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.

    I'd probably pull Moyer for Clemens, and find some way to pull someone out for her. Earnhardt/Petty is a really, really tough call, but there's no way to really put BOTH of them in there.

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

    Billie Jean King called her: "The greatest singles, doubles and mixed doubles player who ever lived." (tennis) Tennis historian Bud Collins called her: "Arguably the greatest player who ever lived." She played a sport that most people are retiring from when players in other sports are just hitting their stride and she played that sport for 32 years retiring at age 50.
