Roy Hobbs
The mighty Casey.
Nuff said.
HE STRUCK OUT!
How about Air Bud, he could do it all!
We salute you sir.
carl spackler.
inventor.
masters champ.
Sidd Finch

i guess sufficient evidence is out there to toss forrest gumps name into the ring:
eta: and is dancing a sport? if so, taught the king his moves.
Rocky Balboa.
Forrest Gump. He did it all and did it all well!
lebron james
Leroy Sane
I just posted Rocky and saw Double D beat me to it, I absolutely support giving Forest Gump his due
I never knew until this thread that Roy Hobbs was fictional.
I always thought "The Natural" was based on a true story.
Wild thing!
Roy Hobbs.
I had a chance to be in the Natural. They had a casting call for ball players. Joe Charboneau asked me if I wanted to go along. I was picked but had a tournament out of town the week they started shooting. Of course I’m sure you know Charboneau made the cut and is shown in a few shots. Hell of a baseball player but it didn’t carry over as a softball player. He was average. But he did have multiple back surgeries by then.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Of course the answer to this question is Air Bud, the dog could do it all, Bo Jackson is a joke compared to Air Bud. A joke!
I say again, we salute you sir!

Gump.
Football, cross country (literally), ping-pong, fishing.
forrest did it all w only 2 legs. 2 bad legs.
Yes, but Forrest never had to deal with fleas!
no. just aids. 😉
But Casey was "Mighty", so the story goes.
At least until he struck out
Balboa
Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

Am I the only one in this sub who's actually played organized tackle football before?
Like half of the comments I've seen on this sub are so obviously written by non-athletes that it's almost humorous.
When I was in high school (3 year starter for our varsity football team) I would get a full-on sprint going and clock the POP TARTS outta whoever had the ball. My coaches called me "speedhawk" as a nickname caus I had such a nose for the football and for those three seasons I was considered the most feared safety in our conference. Senior year I led my team to the state semifinals only to get POP TARTS over by the refs in the 4th but that's another conversation (DM me if you're interested in hearing about it)
So, yeah. I hope yall can understand why I feel like their's such a big disconnect between myself and your typical redditor. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way lol
I just checked his stats. He was an exceptional two-way player. Better than Ohtani

Ron Jeremy. He was a Sumo Wrestler one time in a scene
Kelly Leak
Jimmy Dugan
Great ball player and great manager.

Mr. Ed.
Who was the voice of Mr. Ed? I didn't realize who it was until I read the credits at the end of the show.
