The Pure hitters thread got me thinking about this...
I would have to say that my Mt. Rushmore has to be the 4 most influential sports figures that have shaped me into the fan I am today. Here goes nothing. 1. Tony Gwynn Growing up the Chargers sucked balls for most of my Childhood while, the Padres were great right at the time that molds most sports fans into what they are (11-12 years old). Tony Gwynn was the best player every year on those Padres teams and he's definitely worth being my #1 on the Mt. Rushmore, the George Washington if you will. It was such an honor to see him play, and there was never a game that I attended where he didn't come through with a hit (seems like it anyways). I remember the day hit hit #3000. I was getting ready to go to football practice, but my parents let me stay home until he got the hit. It was in the first inning on August 6, 1999. It was against the Montreal Expos in Le Stadium Olympique (Sp?). Its a shame that he couldn't hit that in front of his home crowd, but sort of cool that those Expos fans got to see something exciting. I also have fond memories of the 1998 World Series where Tony Gwynn hit a homer into the upper deck in Yankees Stadium. I feel bad that he never got to win a World Series, he definitely deserved it. 2. Junior Seau The guy was an absolute beast on the defensive side of the Football. He was a master of timing the snap, and he always laid wood. Again, I feel bad that he never won a Super Bowl, but I guess he has a chance this year. I really don't have as much to say about him as Gwynn, but hes definitely worthy of my #2 spot on the Mt. Rushmore. 3. LaDanian Tomlinson He broke nearly every Chargers rushing record by his 4th season in the NFL, the man is a beast, not much else to say. He's been the Chargers only "Franchise Player" on the offensive side of the ball since I've been alive (Fouts retired when I was 1, so he doesn't count), and hes definitely my favorite Charger of all time. Seau got #2 on my influential list because he was on the team when I was a kid. 4. Kobe Bean Bryant Man this guy is a stud. He gets so much hate on him because everyone else other than him compares him to Jordan. Has he ever said he was better than Jordan? No. Anyways, hes so exciting to watch, knowing he can drop 40 points any given night. I'm happy that he finally got his own ring this year to get that monkey off his back. The memories of this guy are a plenty too. From That run in the late 90s/early 00s, to the heart crushing defeat against the Celtics, to him finally getting that elusive 4th ring this last year. Great ball player. |
