Gale Sayers.


Another good one - darn.  I got his autograph when I was about 12 and he came to our town to speak at a FCA meeting.  He was a great running back.  Would also recommend the movie 'Brian's Song' about him and his teammate Brian Piccolo.

^^^I think that the original ('71) is much better than the remake.

One of the best man-cry movies ever.

You know you made an impact and was one of the greatest ever when they change the rules (lowering the pitching mound) because of your dominance

Not sure. I'm pretty sure I remember him being sick a few years ago but can't remember the details.
