These are some of my favorite athletes primarily in MLB and figure skating over the years. Needless to say some of these names most people have probably never even heard of!

My very first favorite baseball player
Orel Hershiser
I love his passion and convictions. I don't agree with his profanity and hate, but agree with most of his positions.
John Rocker
I love his delivery and charisma on the field
Mark Langston - Baseball-Reference.com
Gary Beacom is an incredibly inspiring figure skater. He improvised most of his performances, skated without a coach, invented his own spins, chose unusual music, skiied without polls, skated with skates on his hands, you get the idea. Predictably un...
Gary Beacom
Kurt Browning is one of the greatest men's figure skaters of all time, his footwork is out of this world, and his ability to skate to literally any style of music is unmatched.
Kurt Browning
Not really sure why I liked this lefty!
Rick Krivda
No list of baseball players is complete without a knuckleballer. I will never forget how he could just lop the baseball over the plate so slowly and hitters would swing n' miss!
Tom Candiotti
I remember when the Indians/Guardians brought this guy to spring training. I wish they would have kept him. He has the most unique pitching delivery in all of baseball hands down.
Hideo Nomo
The best pairs ice dancing couple ever, without question. Dean's ability to choreograph a performance will never be topped! So glad I got to see them perform in Stars On Ice in Dayton at the Nutter Center in 1998…back when ice skating was actually wo...
Torvill and Dean
It wasn't just his Spiritual life that I admired besides his great pitching in the 1997 world series, but his jersey number 37 would become my favorite number to this day!
Chad Ogea Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More
This wasn't a household name player for sure but I remember him pinch hitting for a good player and thinking to myself…I feel bad for this guy but I liked his personality!
Matt Luke (baseball)
Besides being a solid Christian, Wylie had the ability to skate to drama and soundtracks like no other. He skated with true passion!
Paul Wylie
I remember when the Indians/Guardians signed this guy as a free agent (back when they actually had an owner who would spend money). He was a very good addition. Make baseball great again!
Chuck Finley
Assenmacher was like the auto mechanic lefty on lefty specialist and he was good even though he was an old timer!
Paul Assenmacher - Baseball-Reference.com
Besides the super cool name, I mean how can you not like a guy who pitches with those glasses??
Eric Plunk Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More
Another one of my favorite Christian athletes
Travis Fryman Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More
Shuey reminded me of what Jonathan on Little House On the Prairie would be if he was a pitcher!
Paul Shuey Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More
Besides getting to see him play in person in AAA, how can you not like a guy with name like Coco?
Coco Crisp
Probably the best men's figure skater ever from the country of Ukraine
Viktor Petrenko
I remembere when the Indians/Guardians added this guy from the Twins, he played very well I wish they would have kept him!
