Great sports layers you wish you could have seen.

[coach]

What are some of the athletes you wish you could have seen play in person. For me it's players like Michael Jordan ( i was definitely alive lol, but i wish i was older so i could watch him when i knew the game a lot more), the same with Deon Sanders, Larance Taylor, Johnny Unitas, Walter Payton, Dick Butkis, Wilt Chamberlin, Willie Mays, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Pete Rose, and Nola Ryan are just to name a few for me.

I wish I could have seen Cobb play baseball. Some people say that he was mean and a dirty player, others say he would do anything to beat you, but most will agree on one thing...He was one of the best, if not the best, to play the game.

Have you ever seen the movie COBB. It's a great watch. Send the kids to bed because it is pretty foul.

I have seen the movie. The book "Cobb" by Al Stump is wonderful.
