ITT: under-appreciated athletes

Pic related. 41 yrs old, still goes out there with his arm hanging by a thread, mowin em down like it's 1988. Will reach 3000 K's next outing if his shoulder doesn't explode first. InB4 Buffalo Bills, he's got a ring, cy young, silver slugger (hehe) and is the only pitcher in history with 200 wins and 150 saves. Smoltz FTW, who you got??

Oscar Robertson. He averaged a triple-double for the entire '61 season.

I don't think Adam Vinatieri gets enough love for what a stud he is.

John Smoltz sucks fagcocks. Been in the league 20 years, yet barely has 200 wins. Has an ERA well over 3.00 despite being in the National League. Hasn't even been an All-Star half the time.

Does that sound like a Hall of Fame pitcher to you? 3 runs a game, 11 wins a year? Plus the faggot gets injured all the fucking time.

Probably the most under appreciated man in the NHL, thanks to being Cindy's "sidekick", he'll never be able to kick that stigma unless he gets the hell out of Pitssburgh.

Jim Dowd. The guy has been a workhorse for Philly. Out on almost every penalty kill, winning key faceoffs, and just playing all out smart hockey. Not bad for a guy who came to the team for a try out.

What a silly cunt you are sir, lol go troll somewhere else faggot. Gotta imagine he'd have a few more wins if he wasn't the NL's best closer for 4-5 seasons inbetween being a starter, kinda skews his win avg dontcha think, you retarded fuck?! Which is right at 15 wins/yr excluding non-reg starter rookie season & the closer years. Also avg 220+ IP/yr since returning to starter from closer, all at 40 years old = GTFO and go watch NBA or something like all the other clueless niggers who don't know sports.

I'd take Maddux over Smoltz anyday.

Back when I was working sports press for the Union-Tribune, got to have a good chat with him and was probably one of the more interesting ball players I met when I was covering baseball and the Padres

This man knows what he's talking about. Although he's injured right now, I'd pick Pedro Martinez in his prime. Better than anybody.

Pedro in his prime would post sub-2 ERA's and strike out 300 in the AL with the DH and in the steriod era. Most of all, he did it clean.

Tell me when Smoltz does this, then come back.

I'm sorry, that 'logic' is full of fail and irrelevant here since your jheri curl cock fighting dominican nigger hasn't been relevant for the last 3 yrs anyway. I mean if we're just drawing random washed up names out of a hat hell I'll let ya have Randy Johnson too! Plus who said anything about Clemens? I guess I missed John's failed steroid test... then there is the starter to closer back to starter aspect, all in the last 5 yrs, we don't need a time machine to appreciate this one. Smoltz is clean, older, more durable, and still going strong. So you tell me when Pedro does anything again, then come back. All you Braves haterfags are doing is proving the point anyway... the streak is over, let it go and appreciate another surefire HOF'er, not just your own.

You are so fucking stupid, Bravosfag.

Smoltz did it in the weak NL with a FUCKING 3 ERA. Same with unit NL (not including when he was with Seatle). Pedro did it in the powerful AL and posted sub 2 ERA's with 300K's year in and year out.

Roidger is a bad example to use, you fucking faggot.

You forgot to mention that Pedro's home ballpark was Fenway.

I'm pretty sure that Pedro is widely regarded as the best pitcher of his era faggot. this thread is for underrated athletes.
