My Top Ten Athletes

Something old folks do on Facebook is to challenge friends to list off their ten favorite things about a particular subject. So far I’ve escaped this chore, but recently Tom Leuze was nominated to list the ten athletes he’s enjoyed watching the most. Looks like I may have escaped his wrath. But had he nominated me, here's my post. 

 

I have been nominated by Tom Leuze to list the ten athletes I have enjoyed watching the most. One athlete per day for ten consecutive days. No explanations, only pictures. And since I’d rather see sports on my timeline than politics, I will nominate people to join me.

 

Since I’m not sure I can keep this up for ten straight days, I’m cranking them out all at once.  

Honorable mentions: Jack Nicklaus, Michael Jordan, Barry Sanders, and Calvin Johnson.

My nominees – sports nuts who are active on Facebook.

George White, John Pierce, Marshall Kerlin, Drew Kelly, Neil Hollingsworth, Nancy Livengood, Rob Wallace, Bobby Myers, Blake Wilson, and Danny Morris. Guys, I want to see your ten. Spread out over ten days or all at once. Photos or just a list.

 

Reid’s top ten:

 1. Michael Jordan

 2. Pete Maravich

 3. Ted Williams

 4. Maria Sharapova

 5. Mickey Mantle

 6. Pete Rose

 7. Roger Clemens

 8. Derick Jeter

 9. Elena Delle Donne
