childhood

these are my favorite professional athletes of all time. they are in order of my absolute love for them. one from each of the major american pro sports (nfl, nhl, nba, mlb).
in order:

number 1:


Reggie Miller 31 for the pacers and ONLY the pacers. thank the lord almighty he didnt go play for the terrible celtics. i would have stabbed out my eyes and gone into exile ala oedipus.

this was the greatest moment in my life other than the 3 nc's for the huskers during the 90's



number 2:


Ken Griffey Jr. the natural, the kid, the sweetest swing in baseball. injuries and going to the reds ruined what would have been the greatest career in mlb history forever and ever amen.

number 3:

22 emmitt smith. although i lost some love towards the end of his career when he was just chasing records ESPECIALLY when he went to the cardinals. also i stopped caring about pro football once emmitt was a backup to lesser men. the main reason i became a fan was back in the 2nd grade when i won an emmitt smith rookie card at a card show in scotsbluff nebraska.


and finally number 4 from the nhl


sergei federov 91 redwings 99 overall on NHL 96
