Name The Top 5 AllTime Players Your Favorite City Has Produced In Professional Sports

[HacheMan]

From any sport, considering the player spent at least half of their career with that city's team.
Not players born in that city unless of course they went on to play sports such as tennis, golf, boxing, etc......

Being from the Tampa Bay area, it may take some of us posters here in central Florida to come up with a list to compete with the rest of you.....hno:

1. Derek Tatsuno
2. BJ Penn
3. Michelle Wie
4. Shane Victorino
5. Colt Brennan

last 3 have yet to be fully established but they will in a few years...

Brian Villoria probably should replace CB5 but I have faith in the kid.

Canadian GSP just had his way with BJ PENN. He may be #2 on your list, but he's vastly overrated. If he's looking for a win I believe little evil will give him a rematch. Shane Victorino should be no worse than 2nd.

victorino was huge but he only really made an impact for 1 season...thats why i say hasn't really proved himself (with colt and big wiesy).....BJ Penn has been one of the top rated MMA fighters for years now. I agree GSP really put the hurt on BJ (vaseline or not, BJ went directly to the ER after the fight...lol)....but BJ did move up in weight class and he looked like he didn't even care.....(horrible discipline).....first time I seen BJ walking to the octagon so unfocused....muthafucka was singing along with his intro music! hno:

 

[silver7]

From TC's: Molitor, Winfield, Larry Fitz, Marion Barber, and KG, not from here but played since he was just out of HS, so I'm gonna claim him! (<)<
