US City with the highest quality sports stars (NFL, MLB,NBA, NHL
FWIW, I'm not a Boston fan or homer, but I did think it was cool that the Boston fans had got to see three of the best players ever: Larry Bird, Ted Williams, and Bobby Orr. With the emergence of Brady, I am wondering if any city can top this list.
Boston MLB - Ted Williams NBA - Larry Bird NFL - Tom Brady NHL - Bobby Orr Detroit and Chicago are great, but not up to Boston IMO Detroit MLB - Ty Cobb NBA - Isiah Thomas NFL - Barry Sanders NHL - Gordie Howe Chicago MLB - Ernie Banks NBA - Michaeal Jordon NFL - Walter Payton NHL - Bobby Hull Any other cities that can compete with these?. If you toss the NBA, and go with 3 stars, maybe Pittsburg? Of if you toss the NHL, and go with three stars, maybe some other cities? Thoughts? |

NY:
MLB - Ruth, Gehrig, Dimaggio, Mantle, Mays, Robinson, and many others NFL - LT NHL - I don't know hockey, but there's gotta be somebody NBA - they're kinda weak, but Frazier, Monroe, Reed, Ewing are all HoFers. Plus Oakley. NY is so overwhelming when it comes to baseball it's insane. |

DKS,
You forgot Jerry West. And Shaq. And Kobe is last on the list. |

Yeah, I figured I had too many names already and really, sorting out the 4 I listed and the 2 you did is tough. I believe LA has to win best overall NBA talent ever, with Boston not far behind.

Cobb from the movie,
Louis Prima: With all the great players playing ball right now, how well do you think you would do against today's pitchers? Ty Cobb: Well, I figure against today's pitchers I'd only probably hit about .290 Louis Prima: .290? Well that's amazing, because you batted over .400 a... a whole bunch of times. Now tell us all, we'd all like to know, why do you think you'd only hit .290? Ty Cobb: Well, I'm 72 fucing years old you ignorant son of a btch |

For my friends up North in San Fran/San Jose/Oakland...
MLB - Bonds NBA - Uhhh, Wilt for a couple seasons, otherwise Mullen? I dunno. EDIT: Ohhh, Rick Barry I think is the right answer. NFL - Montana/Rice NHL - Joe Thornton |
