Ryan Braun so close to Andrew McCutchen & Mike Trout

 

[Ty Hope]

Past player that was an amazing athlete? Randy Macho Man Savage. Look up his background in sports.

Bubba starling would get my vote for all active baseball players. Bubba speak Thai bubba speak Thai real good!

Second vote for Bubba.

Gotta love a power hitter with average and speed who should be playing QB for my Huskers. Kid is a freak.

For a past player, I'd go with Bo Jackson. Don't think there's much debating it.

 

[Pastretta]

I'd go with Griffey for a past player. I used to watch him many times at the Kingdom. I was at the game when he broke his wrist colliding with the right center field fence.

Bo Jackson

However like Chris said, Dave Winfield was a BOSS. Drafted by 4 different leagues out of college. MLB, NBA, ABA, and NFL.

 

[RZimm11]

Andrew McCutchen

 

[bongo870]

Ken Griffey jr.

 

[alexs64]

Matt Kemp, Bo Jackson, Dave Winfield, Mike Trout and Deion Sanders.

Smoltz is still a pretty amazing athlete. Plays hoops with a buddy of mine and runs point and can still dunk. Scratch golfer as well.
