Local guy, awesome human being and could have been an NBA great
the one I saw online that I thought was a good one was Bo Jackson
Herb Score - Pitcher. Dominant until hit in the face by a ball.
Mario Lemieux. In the discussion for best hockey player of all time, and that's with Hodgkin's Disease and myriad back problems that nearly ended his career in the early 90's. Without those... :o
I was also thinking Bo Jackson.
But the first that comes to mind is Lou Gehrig.
True he already had a great career in baseball when he had to quit, but who knows what kind of manager he could have been, etc.
Bill Walton
Personally, I'd love to see how good Dickie Thon would've been if he hadn't been beaned with a fastball, but it's tough to vote against Bo Jackson.
I also wonder how good Ralph Sampson might've turned out to be
Len Bias
You guys remember Bryce Flory? He was also a pitcher who got hit in the face, about 20 years ago.
Pat Tillman.
Pete Reiser.
