I’ve had this thread idea for a while and seems like a good time to start it.
I’ll choose the sport and position and you just list your all-time favorite top 5 (doesn’t mean they were great or even very good, just your favorites)…..don’t have to put in order. Do a top 3 if you think 5 is too many
I’ll start with Baseball and starting pitchers
1. Greg Maddux
2. Nolan Ryan
3. Rob Dibble
4. Mike Leake
5. Mike Mussina
This took me a while after my top 2
1) Tom Browning
2) Jose Rijo
3) Randy Johnson
4) Maddux
5) Pedro
HM: Cueto and Skenes
Skenes and Shohei are the two guys now in baseball that make me want to go watch outside of a reds or guardians game
1. Bob Gibson
2. Gary Nolan
3. Ted Abernathy
4. Jim Maloney
5. Pedro Borbon
1. Nolan Ryan
2. Jose Rijo
3. Aaron Harang
4. Mike Mussina
5. Randy Johnson

Nice to see someone else who appreciates Mussina
Honestly, not sure anyone will ever convince me someone was better than Pedro. I'll hear arguments for longevity/better overall careers, but no one touches his 3 year run of dominance in the middle of the steroid era.
My first 4 are easy for me. The 5th spot I debating a long time. Lefty, Feller, Walter Johnson, Verlander, Seaver, & Koufax all got consideration.

Feel free to list them as you did but was hoping for your 5 favorites….like the 5 guys you just always rooted for not necessarily the 5 that feel were the greatest
I’ll give another day for Starting Pitchers
Next position will be Favorite QB’s…..let’s wait until tomorrow evening before posting
1. Cueto
2. Harang
3. Browning
4. Nuxhall
5. Rijo

Browning and Rijo would’ve caught my top 10
