It's interesting to me how difficult this actually is. A few years back, not so tough, with Yogi, Ernie Banks, Arnold Palmer, Ali (not universal of course), and others.
Maybe Nicklaus now? On the women's side, Billie Jean King? Mary Lou Retton?

I think Shaq is a good pick. Charles Barkley would be another. But someone who I think really fills this role with the masses is Michael Strahan. He's a day time TV fixture, still covers big NFL games and is generally beloved by even regular people who don't like sports.

Maybe. Mostly they watch Good Morning America, probably were fans of Kelly and Michael and are probably huge fans of Strahan, Sara and Keke.
Can you think of anyone with a wider audience? |

In Baltimore it's Brooks Robinson by a mile.

And in Boston Yaz and Orr, but I don't think they have a national following so much.

I like Lou Holtz. Been out of the spotlight for a while though, however I imagine he does speaking engagements.
