Young, Bagwell, and Leetch weren’t born in CT. We probably need some rules on “from” cause I think all 3 would easily qualify. Hockey would probably be Drury or Quick if we go with born.

Who gives a s^^^ where they were born, they are all from CT. They lived in CT. their whole lives and never picked up a football, bat, or hockey stick in any of those other states. You think North Carolina people are saying but Jordan was born in Brooklyn?

Anthony Harris is Top 10. Why did Calvin Murphy go to such a crappy school if he was such a stud?

Probably because of how tall he was.

Hey I agree both with the from part and your selections. I was just going off the debate in the thread.

Jimmy Piersall if we’re going with old timers.

Drummond was born in NY.

He went to high school in CT. Isn't that what should count?

I grew up with Snake and agree he's in the top 10.

If Palmer has stayed at St Joes would you have counted him? That would’ve felt more like a hired gun.

Pretty sure Drummond considers himself from Middletown. They still play his dang videos at the YMCA from when he was like 8 lol.

Connecticut has a great history of small guards (around 6 feet and under) in addition to Calvin Murphy and they are all some of the greatest in Connecticut history. They include Wes Matthews, John Bagley, Michael Adams and Rod Foster. I'm sure I'm missing some others.

I wasn’t around for Murphy but I know he was so good they had to show his high school games on closed circuit in the auditorium because so many people came to watch him play!

Anthony “ Snake “ Harris, the pride of Danbury.

Bagwell was from Middletown I thought

 

[Sachem]

And what about John Starks?? Didn’t the Knicks “bag” him up at a grocery store in Milford?

 

[Horatio]

Malcolm Huckaby is at least top 10-15

Bagpipes is from Killingworth and went to Xavier in Middletown for high school.

All the coach’s in the 90’s in Babe Ruth told us you can be just like Bagwell. Now it’s my boy AJ Pollack!

 

[alphasigko]

I know he's a dookie, but Mike Giminski might get an honorable mention....

Bobby Valentine for Baseball
