If you could go back in time...
 
what athlete would you like to watch more than anybody?

I can see people saying Babe Ruth. But personally, I'd love to watch Maurice Richard play hockey. Everything I hear or read of the guy just points at him being the greatest goal scorer with the biggest fire in his eyes of all time. I just read a thing where he'd score 4 or 5 goals in one game and think he played terribly. One game he was voted 1st, 2nd and 3rd Star of the game. Hell, if you have a Riot named after you, you must be something special.

There's so many but I guess I'd have to pick either Josh Gibson or Satchel Paige since there's so little known about them during their primes.

IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME

If I could go to any event, it would have been Superbowl III (my pops was there :rant: )

Just a player though, I would have loved to see Mickey Mantle in his prime.

Diego Maradona. Even if what I did see growing up was awesome.

homer picks... Ted Williams, Bobby Orr or Bill Russell.

Gayle Sayers or Rockne coaching the 4 horsemen.

maybe even Gordie Howe in his prime.

Willie Mays, Henry Aaron and Mickey Mantle come to mine. But more than anything I'd like to go back to 1979 so I could experience a Seattle team winning a professional championship

Bobby Orr. I seen Gretzky, so it would be nice to be able to compare the two.

McLegend 07-03-2007 11:45 PM

Larry Bird and Ted Williams

I'd honestly love to watch Pistol Pete play live.

I was going to say Orr too, but something about the Rocket intrigues me more. Orr was probably the best all around player of all time.

It's hard to say. I don't think I would want to go back and see a baseball hitter, like Mantle or Ruth or Williams or something, and in terms of football, I think what we have now is better anyway. Same with basketball, to some extent. Maybe one of those dominant pitchers would be cool, or a really dominant hockey player.

To be honest, I think the 1954 Empire Games when Roger Banister and
John Landy both had done the 4-minute mile independently but then faced off would be incredible. Seeing Prefontaine run in one of his big races would also be an incredible sight.

oh yeah maybe Lawrence Taylor. my dad said he was always the fastest dude on the field so thats awesome for a huge linebacker.

RP 07-04-2007 09:45 PM

Roberto Clemente

CSL 07-04-2007 09:53 PM

George Best or Wayne Gretzky.

Kris P Lettus 07-04-2007 09:59 PM

Sam Mills
Archie Manning
Dalton Hillard


Walter Peyton

I'm not a basketball fan but Wilt Chamberlin would be great to see.

Jordan 07-11-2007 12:11 PM

It would be Wrestlemania 3 for me.
