In basketball, my favorite is Jerry West. After all, he came from a small community not far from where I live. But I will second Wilt and Kareem and Larry Bird.
It would take a while to ponder upon all of these to decide on just one. And during that time, I figure I would think of a few more like "Refrigerator Perry" that I enjoyed watching.
Just too many. As one can tell, I am partial to the early guys who played for little pay compared to today's standards.

Tom, I always thought you were 30 but given these athletes you must be at least 40
I also noticed you don't have any Red Sox players on your list. Seriously though, just a great era of baseball.
