You are 99 years old and in "the home"...someone asks you who the Money players were.

you have jagr but not lemieux ? come on man
These may not be "THE BEST 10" (if money means clutch), but without reading anyone else's list, they're the ones that came to mind first without even having to think more than a few seconds.
George Brett
Reggie Jackson
David Ortiz
Joe Montana
Brett Favre
John Elway
Tom Brady
Michael Jordan
Larry Bird
LeBron James
At 99 I can't spell Lemieux.
Now get off the damn lawn!!!!
I can't spell Lemieux now! Where do you come up with these questions!
I'm 99 and this thread is upsetting me when I saw George Brett mentioned.
Nurse, where's my nitro pills? 💊
Brady
Brown
Graham
Jordan
James
Williams
Russell
Mantle
Tiger
Jack
If you ask me when I'm 100 my list may change.

I can give you the list sonny, but it will cost you a tube of Preparation H.

No deal...the cable company got the last tube.
When I'm in "the home" the only list I want is where I kept my .38.
I’m more of a 5.56 guy
I meant for suicide, if I have to be placed in a "home".
In California it's illegal for any resident to even look at that picture.

Secretariat is considered the greatest horse of all time and I really doubt that a better horse ever comes around. He still holds the track record for all three of the Triple Crown Races and his Belmont victory of 31 lengths is considered one of the greatest races ever.
Big Red is the GOAT!!!
Here are some money players that were great in the clutch, when the chips are down, postseason.
Basketball Jordan, Russell
Football Montana, Brady,
Baseball Rivera, Bumgarner, Hershiser
Hockey Gretzky, Orr, Brett Hull
Family, Neighborhood, Community,
make the World a better place.
I probably should put Lemieux up there over Hull, but I wanted to give Hull some credit for his 24 game winning playoff goals and 38 playoff power play goals~ making other teams pay for their mistakes.
Family, Neighborhood, Community,
make the World a better place.
Mr. Clutch aka 'The Logo' wasn't half bad.
I don't know the first thing about horse racing. I've obviously heard of Secretariat, and likely have seen clips of his wins at some point, just by accident. But I just went to YouTube and watched all 3 of the Triple Crown races. I now understand what all of the fuss is about.
Again, I don't know the first thing about it, but I'd assume that the other horses are trying at least a little, and that a horse shouldn't ever be able to win a race by that distance, even if the race was rigged. Ha!
Again, as someone that knows nothing about horse racing, seeing the acceleration at the beginning of the Preakness as Secretariat blows by everyone on the outside, to me (albeit an unknowing newbie), is probably just as magnificent an achievement.
So, one last time, as someone that knows absolutely nothing (well, now I know a little) about horse racing, color me impressed!
you have jagr but not lemieux ? come on man > @countdouglas said:
its horse racing Secretariat was jacked up on roids the others were dosed with Quaaludes , they keep the jockeys locked in cages when they arent racing
As great as he is, unless we're talking about the size of his contract, I don't believe Mike Trout will ever have to worry about being called a money player.
Secretariat was the super horse, 1970's. He was blessed with the mammouth heart as noted And used it to win by unchallenged margins.
This forum is married to the 4 major sports and golf, but look up Edwin Moses for an equal to Secretariats career.
Well sure I do. I was an avid horse racing fan by 1973 and an avid runner by 1975. I followed both careers as they happened.
Secretariat was spectacular in the triple crown but still suffered 4 losses in his career vs 17 wins.
The greatest athlete of the last century (sorry Perk) was Edwin Moses. In the mid 1970's he began a nearly ten year stretch of wins in the 400 hurdles that lasted nearly ten years. 122 consecutive wins and after a loss 9 years and 9 months after the streak began, he won another 10 races. In his career he set the world record 3 times.

Link is safe. Race starts at 1:30

it was difficult selecting the accomplishment that wowed me the most, but having played golf for over 35 years i can't even comprehend #22

you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet
Gee, Moses won olympic gold 8 years apart (76 and 84) USA skipped the 1980 games. And let me repeat as it is early and 99 ye year old brains take a while to activate. 122 consecutive wins for Moses and 132-1 over a ten year stretch...all at the world class level.
1970's at least you learned something today. It may be helpful in the future on another forum.
Woods was scary great on the greens.
Heard that he had another leg procedure in the last few days. That might be a record as well.
It's only 5 on that knee, I'm sure that's not a record.
Been an avid watcher of sports for 60 years. Usually I've witnessed it all live on TV, or at the least recorded.
Secretariat was racing against the best in the world. He made them all look like $5,000 claimers.
No single event still gives me goose bumps like Secretariat widening in the stretch, an unparalleled display of greatness, that I will never see matched in my lifetime.
Nothing compares.
-not the miracle on ice
-not the small female US Olympic gymnast who nailed a perfect landing on a mangled ankle
-none of the Lakers, Dodgers, Kings championships that I watched since the 1960's
-not Cassius Clay winning gold
-not Shoe's last ride. I was there and won a lot betting Eddie D instead. Think he paid $26 to win
-not Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile. which is the pinnacle of track and field.
There is only one greatest moment in sports history:
"They're into the stretch, Secretariat has opened up a 22 lengths lead...".
Seabiscuit vs Secretariat, both in their prime. Who wins? I din't know anything about horse racing, but I've heard about Seabiscuit and Secretariat a lot. So who crosses the finish line first? The bisc or Secretariat?
I was in tears...I had $20 on Shecky Green.
Doing some studious math, along with a number of imperial calculations, I am fairly certain that Secretariat would beat Edwin Moses in a match race.
