Title: What former professional athlete would you want to see in person....
Post by: herpes on September 24, 2008, 09:40:02 PM: that played before you were born... Me personally I would of loved to of seen Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth play. But more so then that I would of loved to experience baseball in NYC in the 50's and I would of kill to know what it was like going to ebbets field and watched the dodgers play. From all the reading I have done and people i have talked to it seems like no team meant as much to the there fans as the Brooklyn Dodgers meant. I hope Walter O'Malley and Robert Moses are getting ass raped in hell right now.

Post by: ABN on September 25, 2008, 06:00:59 AM: Mike Tyson. i´ve boxed for 10 years and he´s pretty much the guy that i was inspired by coz when he was at his best he might´ve been the best well rounded athlete of all time. and people think that he´s just a crazy savage that´s just a beast. but from the interviews by good journalists that i´ve seen with him he seems like an intelligent guy that knows a lot about the history of boxing. i mean how many people in any sport can recall every single thing that happened in an event more then 50 years ago? i mean Mike actually remebers entire punch combos from fights from the 50´s and that´s crazy.

Brooklynites are still furious at O'Malley? Didn't they see the HBO special on the Brooklyn Dodgers? I'm glad Moses is getting the heat for that. Walter did his all tryna get the new stadium in Brooklyn. Couldn't picture them being the Queens Dodgers or New Jersey Dodgers either. Maybe they coulda played a couple seasons in Jersey so a new stadium could get built in Brooklyn.
