All time: Donnie Baseball Currently: Can't pick just one.... Okafor, Arod, Rip Hamilton, Ray Allen, Sheffield, Mo, and Clemens.

I was huge Nolan Ryan fan growing up, George Brett and Cal Ripken Jr. were pretty high up there as well. Recently? Michael Phelps is tremendous badass, just too bad he's made crappy judgement...its not like he's int he NBA or NFL...

For every Lithuanian undoubtedly - Arvydas Sabonis (basketball player, do you remember him in Portland Trale Blazers?).

I'm not saying it's gonna survive here, but they'll get a team. With the new Sprint Center and the local backing (called NHL 21, I think) desperately wanting the NHL here, they will get it. We had the Kansas City Scouts for one season in 1975-1976. I was only one year old at the time, so I can't tell you why it failed. And I really don't know how the NHL would play in KC now. I see it as a Pittsburgh or Nashville type franchise. Yeah, we stole the Arena team from New Orleans. Nothing to be proud of.

it would probably be a re-located franchise rather than a new one. and that is entirley possible as even in the "new" nhl, there are still a couple of teams that they figure won't survive. the way owners are, i btand new arena alreday built is a great selling point. didn't you guys have an old I.H.L tean called the kansas city blades in the 80's untill the "i" went tits up

The Blades went under a few years back when the IHL folded. The main issue w/ Hockey in KC, I think, is Kemper Arena which is a horrible venue. I think we'll get an NBA team before an NHL team. I'd prefer NHL. KC is a pretty nice town. No tourists, which is bad, but that's why I like it. As far as favorite athlete, I worshipped Kirby Puckett as a kid, and I still rank him up at the top. I find most athletes now as arrogant with bad attitudes. I'm sure Kirby was the same way, but I didn't realize it when I was 8.
