Top 5 Favorites of your team...in your time

geeblock just reminds me of a favorite Brown of mine I just thought of when talking about returns: Greg Pruitt

Surprised no one has mentioned Eric Metcalf

I didn’t know that. I do remember Dixon and Minnifield being stud cornerbacks in those great Cleveland teams

I've probably mentioned this story on here but a few years ago my girlfriend and I were at the Rocksino (now MGM Casino) in Cleveland and this guy gets escorted over by us and sits down on the slot right next to me. Reeking of hard alcohol so bad I tell my GF "glad this place is non smoking or it might blow up if someone lights a match near this guy." I look over at him and say "are you Hanford Dixon?" and he says "yeah." Dude was so drunk he got up to go to the bathroom and says "watch my machine...it's hot." It wasn't...most he hit was $10. He leaves his iPhone and I wanted so bad to check it to see if he had Bernie on speed dial. He was cool but man that guy hammers down the booze. My nephew, who is a high roller at Jack Casino has several stories about Hanford as he's a regular there.

Reds:  Vada Pinson

I was probably in 6th grade and my parents took me shopping in downtown Cleveland clothing stores. I was looking at some shoes and I looked to my right and saw a man picking up leather shoes. It was Vada Pinson.  I was so excited to be just next to him.  I told my parents. They had no idea who I was talking about. He impressed me as a real Mr. Cool.
