Practitioners of sport? Like, athletes? Let me make two lists here.
Current:
3. Dustin Pedroia (Boston Red Sox). Scrappy, plays through injuries, gives nothing less than 100%. Won league rookie of the year and MVP in the same season. Ridiculous nickname (Muddy Chicken), speaks his own language, it seems.
2. Patrice Bergeron (Boston Bruins). Skill for days, and pure class on and off the ice.
1. Ryan Giggs (Manchester United). Not much to say that hasn't been said.
All-time:
3. Phil Esposito (Boston Bruins, New York Rangers). Not afraid to
speak his mind. Prolifically good at scoring. Rad sideburns.
2. Ryan Giggs.
1. Roberto Clemente (Pittsburgh Pirates). Pioneer for current latin baseball players. Grace, effortless-looking skill, humanitarian. Died in a plane crash, headed to Nicaragua to help aid with earthquake relief in the prime of his career
