    I totally missed carl lewis in my list. I knew someone would list Big George. Another worth mentioning is Gordy Howe who played for the Houston Aeros. Also Mary Lou Retton is important.

    bagwell is a future hall of famer and arguably the best player in the history of the franchise. he's been the best player in baseball and was consistently among the best for atleast a decade.

    my 4 favorites:

    dream
    bagwell
    biggio
    ryan

    Mary Lou Retton, too.

    BTW, Biggio is just as deserving as Bagwell (though Bags is my favorite, too) and Bidge has a much clearer shot for the Hall of Fame. You have to include *both* of those guys.

    Honorable mention to Rudy T, Bum, and Dierk.
