Re: Worthy of mention, too obscure for own thread

The Ripken-Young-Trammell troika was the first core of power hitting shortstops, but I think Ernie Banks was probably the first true middle-order power threat. He played the first half of his career at SS, and put up 512 career bombs. Not too shabby. Dickie Thon, before being hit in the head by a p...

Taking nothing away from Caitlin Clark, because what she was able to do in her career puts her down as the greatest women's gunner in NCAA history. But man, what Pete Maravich did was nuts.

Players like Wembanyama and Jokic are kind of an end result (not an actual end, obviously) of how the European style of skill development without regard for size helps them become dominant forces. The focus on "little man" skills transforms bigger players into unicorns.

Two quarterbacks before McNabb at Syracuse, Marvin Graves was the starter. The biggest game of his career, he was vomiting on the field while trying to lead a comeback against a top-ranked 10-0 Miami team (SU was 9-1 and #5) in his last home game.
