marshall barkmanWalter Payton was exciting when he ran the ball but in all reality what fills the stands in professional sports? Why do people attend Nascar events? The go to watch wrecks and drivers getting pissed and all the drama.
Does anyone remember Roger Clemens throwing the bat at Piazza? Yankee stadium erupted and the Mets were never the same.
For every person who likes Walter Payton, Joe Montana, Nolan Ryan there is also a person who likes Joe Namath, Chad Johnson and Roger Clemens.
What is hilarious about everything in regards to pre-war baseball cards is that these players were loud and violent rough chaps. Just go watch the movie Cobb or talk to people that knew him. The greatest player to ever live bet on himself and raised hell wherever he went. He fought anyone on the drop of a dime and he is my favorite all time ballplayer! My 2nd favorite player is Pete Rose and he should be in the hall of fame for his accomplishments playing the game.
Pure and simple Cobb & Rose RAISED AND BROUGHT THE NOISE!
