So we've had a recent favorite sports teams, and I've come to the conclusion, that there are single sports stars out there as well, who are everyones favorite athletes?

My all time favorite Reds player is Pokey Reese. I doubt anyone that isn't a Reds, Red Sox, or Pirates fan has heard of him, but that's my favorite. Pedro Martinez is in second, I used to like Manny but not so much anymore.
For football, he was before my time but I like David Fulcher. But currently, its Andrew Whitworth.

I like soccer, I just don't follow it as hardcore as other sports. My favorite player is Messi.

Not really. At my last job everybody loved him there so that kinda soured me on him. I'll stick to Messi and David Villa
