There are a few "saints" that are/were professional athletes. These guys are the ones that have never had an ounce of dirt or bad press come their way. It's not impossible to be a courteous human being. Guys like Cal Ripken, Tony Gwynn, Bob Feller, Brooks Robinson, etc.. are rarely listed in the bad experience files.

With that being said, this trend seems to be diminishing. There are less and less class acts coming into professional sports. I realize that the media feeds on this stuff more than they used to, as well. But, the attitudes have changed with the paychecks. Somehow, I think these guys have forgotten what got them the big $$$ in the first place.
