Should the Babe be the best "3" ever, or should it be Earnhart?

Let's go one number at a time, I'll skip 00(though I'd nominate Parrish) and start with #1.

Tomorrow I guess we could do #2, unless y'all just want to run with it.

At #1 Warren Moon comes to mind. Anybody better?

Sports Talk in Chattanooga did this last week so it should be fun. At #1 I'd go with HOF Oscar Robertson.

#1- I'm a huge Billy Martin fan, but it's Oscar Robertson, with Ozzie Smith a distant second.
#2-Deon Sanders at FSU.
#3-Ruth.
#4-Gehrig. Honorable mention to Favre and Bobby Orr.
#5- A number of choices. Hornung, Brett. However DiMaggio is the choice.

In historical significance, NASCAR is to baseball as Millard Fillmore is to Abraham Lincoln.

At #2 and speaking of the Yankees, isn't that Jeter's number?
I'm all for a Sanders nom. in the #21, not sure I'd like to see him get the 2 as well.

Roger Clemens gets #21. Dominique Wilkins is another possibility.

Now I'll have to admit I'm no baseball fan, and Clemens is aheck of a choice, but I'm gonna stand by primetime at 21. He even doubled up with baseball for a while there!

Ah, it's understandable. :D

Big E would definitely get my vote for #3, but he wasn't always #3 as Ruth was (I think).

When we say greatest, it means just that... And until recently, NASCAR didn't even matter to anybody outside of the south.

Babe Ruth, being the most famous athlete in the history of our country, has to get #3.

When they made a movie about Dale, they called it 3. What did they call the movie about Ruth? It wasn't 3. Sorry, but when I think of the #3, I think of Dale not Ruth.

They called it "3" so NASCAR fans could read the title.

Using that standard, I guess you'd need beer goggles to read the title of the Babe Ruth movie?

I can't imagine it. Is there even any sort of real argument that Dale Earnhardt is more important in the landscape of American sports than Babe Ruth?

Do they know there are actually a sizeable number of people who don't even have a clue who Dale Earnhardt is?
