It's no secret that I'm a crazy sports fanatic. I've bled Braves red and blue, Razorback red, Packers green and yellow, and now Grizzlies blue and white for as many years as I've been alive [or in the case of the Grizzlies, as many years as they've been in Memphis]. In recent years - since the opening edition of the IPL in 2008 - I've included RCB red and gold and, on occasion, CSK yellow. I grew up attending all of my brother's various games and matches and meets, and sports has always been and will continue to be part of my life's fabric.
Over the course of the last 30 years I have amassed a fair number of favourite athletes, and today I introduce you to them. It won't come as a surprise to most of you that my list is pretty full of Braves, Razorbacks, Packers, Grizzlies, and cricket players. I'm pretty simple that way.
30 favourite athletes:

Looking over this list brings back a lot of great memories from all my years, and I'm reminiscing about why I love each and every one of these guys.
