Famous old timers that I never have seen or heard play that most people know and love (from books).
Ty Cobb
Shoeless Joe Jackson
Knute Rockne
Red Grange
Sachael Paige
Bob Cousy
Johnny Egan
Walt Drapo
Ben Hogan
Hobbie Baker (?)
Christy Mathewson
Cy Young
The Babe
I guess for me it’s mostly baseball. I am having a hard time thinking of bb players because I go back to viewing John Wooden so that doesn’t count for me. Can’t think of any prior famous bb players (right now - ha)
How great were these players that they are still remembered (I hope)
I wonder how many players over the last 50 years will be remembered in 100 years?
