Holy 'Carolina, it is almost like you stole my list!
Football: Alan Page, Carl Eller, Jim Marshall, Frantastic, Chuck Foreman, etc. - gotta put some hate on the cheating Drew Pearson! Baseball: Anybody on the Big Red Machine led by Johnny Bench, Pete Charlie Hustle Rose, Joe Morgan & Dave Concepcion (sp) Basketball: John Hondo Havlicheck , Larry Bird,JoJo White, Dave Cowens, and did like Jabar

Pearson (and the refs) are the reason I have faithfully hated the Cowboys for 37 years.

Welcome to the board RS67SS(I'm assuming that may be in reference to a Chevy?) I didn't list any of my racing favorites because I no longer have any. But growing up it was Richard Petty and Cale Yarborough(and was a fan of CooCoo) and later I was a huge Sterling Marlin fan. And Handsome Harry was as good as they come.
