240.0. "Greatest Sportsman" by IMBETR::DUPREZ (The stars might lie, but the numbers never do...) Thu Sep 07 1995 12:47

to those folks who combine athletic performance and class.

Some of my picks:

	Evander Holyfield
	Cal Ripken
	Ozzie Smith
	(H)akeem Olajuwon

  What about Ronald McDonald and Bozo the clown? They're great with kids and
do lots of charity work.

  I don't know, I'm looking the title to this topic and trying to decide just
what measure is being used to determine who's a great sportsman and who is not.
Looking at the lists doesn't help much either.

  Is a great sportsman anyone who excels at his sport or does he also have
to have other qualities as well?

  When ever I hear the phrase "Great Sportsman" I always picture some rich
guy with wearing an ascot standing on the back of a giant yacht or walking
through the country club with a tennis racket in his hand. What is that suppose
to mean "Great Sportsman" anyway?

If that's what you picture George, just name a few of them and be done with
it.
