I guess you don't know much about soccer (unlike the other 192 states on that planet). Don't judge Beckham by his short guestplay for LA Galaxy, that was just an excessively overpaid holiday for him, nothing else.

For me Kobe Bryant is overrated. So is Barry Bonds, cause noone has ever heared their names, seen their faces or gives a shit about them in whole Europe.

Beckham....couldn't agree more. Thought they could do it here in the U.S. but was a big flop. Noone cares about him or the sport.   Wife thought she was going to ordained Queen of America too. Went home with tail between legs.

Please....Kobe (and basketball players in general) are probably the best athletes in sports. And hitting a baseball at 90 mph is one of the hardest things in sports.  Beckham........get real.

Kournikova.

Then nobody else.

Then perhaps that douche that fought Cyborg, what's her name, Carano?

Donnie Baseball comes to mind. Good player. But no legend IMO.

Freddy Adu and Frank Lampard also makes the short list.

I'd have to vote for Eddie the Eagle, Olympic Ski-jumper from years ago.  He changed the sport.

Played 45 minutes so far.

Maddox-Smoltz-Glavine

is the best pitching lineup a team will ever have.

All of them future HOF'ers.

Maddox is as far as I'm concerned the greatest pitcher I've ever seen. The location and control on his pitches are unmatched IMO.


Even I, a Tribe fan, can admit to their superiority.

where did smoltz end up this season- I legit forgot

btw, that trio not only produced numbers and helped that club be dominant in the NL East for so long but they epitomized that team
You couldn't think of the Braves of during that Era without thinking of Maddox/Smoltz/Glavine

Beckham = One of the top players for a decade in the no1 sport on the planet.

Basketball, Baseball, American Football = nobody on this planet of 6 billion cares apart from 350,000,000 dimented Christian evangelists somewhere north of Mexico ::)

I think the Cards?

I saw that Smoltz was gonna do one more year - at least. Nice to see him keeping it up. He still got it, so why not keep playing.

But one more thing about the Three great ones. At least two of them, Smoltz and Glavine, were IMO good or really good with the bat.
