Caught the tail end of segment on the Freddie Coleman show talking about Yogi Berra. Freddie had people calling to say who they thought were the biggest sports personalities and Characters. Of course Shaw was mentioned but here are a few who weren't at least while I was listening. Baseball Mark the Bird Fidrich - short career but would talk to the ball before each pitch. Basketball Darryl Dawkins Bill Walton - in college Dennis Rodman Football John Riggins Deon Sanders Golf Lee Trevino John Daly
they cant even scratch their backs. roided freaks who jump around in pen arent athletes. theyre gorillas with spandex.
Tony Stewart was pretty much of a character but the death of the midget car driver seems to have taken a lot out of him. Dale Earnhardt and Darrell Waltrip. The oldtime NASCAR drivers were all characters but the newer breed of drivers are pretty much all corporate vanilla personalities. Dale Jr. would probably be a natural character if he didn't make so much money as a corporate shill.
One of the greatest characters was the ole Diz, Dizzy Dean. I'll never forget jewels like 'he slud into 3rd'.
