1. Bill “Moose” Skowron. In 39 World Series games, Moose hit .293 with eight home runs..

2. Jumbo Elliott. Jumbo spent eight seasons with the Giants and six with the Jets.

3. Joe Fields. Joe was drafted in the 14th round of the 1975 NFL draft. I would say he was pretty good value for that pick.

4. A. C. Green. Beyond his accomplishments on the court, Green is noted for saying he finished his NBA career as a virgin bachelor.

5. Pat LaFontaine. Pat put up great numbers despite dealing with concussions.

6. Quinn Buckner. Quinn spent his last season in the NBA with the Pacers.

7. Mitch Williams. For his career, Mitch averaged 8.6 strikeouts and 7.1 walks per 9 innings.

8. Bill Kilmer. I’m still not sure why Kilmer started over Sonny Jurgenson.

9. Reuben Sierra. Ruben bounced around among a lot of teams during the last part of his career. He finished with 20 years in the majors and 306 career home runs.

10. Norm Cash. I believe hitting in Tigers Stadium was better for Norm than hitting in the old Comiskey Park.
