Earl Campbell.

Single reason I became a fan of the Oilers in 1978 as an 11 yr old.

 

[Hormesis]

Non Titan would be John Riggins

 

[Hurraytitans!!]

Ray Lewis Favorite non-titan ………….for me to poop on.

 

[Mitch86]

I'd have to go with Steve McNair. The Titans came to TN right around when I started really getting in to football... McNair played with such grit and determination and made things exciting.

 

[Bucky7]

Gotta go with the namesake, it's why he's the namesake...

 

[Doc]

Donnie Nickey

Don’t do Rey Rey Hill like that.

Top Titan: Derrick Henry... Plenty of Signature Runs and Catches that you can watch over and over and over again. That's rare. Very likable. Playoff moments. All of it fun and entertaining.

Top NFL: Tom Brady. I didn't want to root for him, and I rooted for Eli both times, but at some point he was so unbelievable at the clutch moments that I wanted to see him do it again just to see it happen. And he did Altanta like that. I rooted for that to happen. Respect. 10 Superbowls in 20 years. That's domination of your opposition.

Top Player ever: Nolan Ryan... For doing the unthinkable on any given night. And to do the unthinkable over his entire career too. Special moments over four decades beginning in the 60's.

Extra cheers for Nolan.
Could throw a no-hitter any given night or beat the s**t out of some young ball player who thinks he can take on the old man.

There’s no doubt Ventura still remembers his first Texas haircut.

my favorite part is the 2 second hesitation... where he decides he has to do it

the slow jog towards the mound


LOL

The 30 punches to the face are pretty funny too. It’s like he ran out there and placed his head in the head lock.

 

[GoT]

Ventura did not want to ... he had to

thing is for a Ryan pitch it really was not that bad... Ryan known for fastball not precision... it can be anywhere

 

[Hormesis]

Nothing like the Ryan Express! Still have the newspaper section of his 5,000th K- it was HOF Rickey Henderson. Interviewed after the game, Rickey said, “You ain’t nobody if you haven’t been struck out by Nolan Ryan.”

 

[GoT]

Rickey Henderson probably one of my favorite characters of all time

 

[Tuckfro42]

Rickey Henderson probably one of my favorite characters of all time

My favorite baseball player ever. Dude wasn’t that bright and referred to himself in the third person, but he was electric in everything he did.

 

[Hurraytitans!!]

Sorry we’re getting off favorite titans, but pretty amazing to think baseball was already 100 years old when some of the greatest players, specialties almost, were all around together.
Ryan and heat/strikeouts
Henderson will never lose his SB records
Pete rose was a hit machine, probably also safe for history
Tony Gwynn, probably the best contact player ever. Just could not strike that dude out.

Ricky was a genius... at baseball


I was at a sounds game a few years ago, back when still As affiliate, and Ricky was roaming the As minors teaching players running
was the first base coach that night, to reinforce what he was teaching and to do it real time... I remember getting goosebumps just being
50 feet from Ricky... some might feel that way about Jordan but Jordan could not hit a AA curveball - LOL

anyways... Ricky was a character without a doubt.

you were right... I looked it up they all overlapped from 82-86

The Big Unit rookie in 88 so did not overlap Rose
