Gretzky really only belongs on the Edmonton or LA lists

Yes, when I did the OP I was really thinking about guys who played the "majority" or "best" of their career in that city. Otherwise you could throw in Bonds for Pittsburg, etc.

Hartford, Connecticut:

NHL: Geoff Sanderson

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.

NHL: Mark Messier/Wayne Gretzky/Brian Leech
NFL: Joe Namath

LT>>>>>>>>>>>> Namath

[lippy]

Minneapolis;

MLB; Killebrew, Puckett
NBA; KG
NFL; Fran Tarkenton, Cris Carter, Adrian Peterson (!!!)
NHL; sucks
College; Bronko Nagurski, Kevin McHale, Dave Winfield

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAK

[SL__72]

I'd say:
MLB: Carew
NBA: KG
NFL: Moss (Krause and Page honorable mentions)
NHL: Modano/Broten

For College you forgot Winfield.

[Triumph36]

NHL, Marian Gaborik deserves more mention than Neal Broten or Mike Modano, imo

For NY, Henrik Lundqvist will soon be the greatest player in Ranger history, if he's not already. Brian Leetch was highly overrated.

Philadelphia:

NFL: Reggie White?
MLB: Schmidt, Carlton
NBA: dunno, Barkley?
NHL: don't follow hockey

Meh, just throwing it up as a 4-team city that's not been mentioned, someone can improve it probably

[DonkeyKongSr]

Philadelphia gets credit for Wilt under NBA.

NHL for them would probably be Bobby Clarke.

[DonkeyKongSr]

Dallas isn't terrible...

NFL: Emmitt Smith
MLB: Ryan/Pudge?
NBA: Dirk
NHL: Modano
