    pretty hard to compete with Kobe and Pujols but Arod and Jeter is a good start

    (Angels are borderline LA, all their games are on tv at least. I think people will remember Pujols as a Cardinal but we'll see how many more years he puts up big numbers and if Angels can win a title or two)

    Miami's list is honestly probably a lot better but right now I dont have time to think or look it up who would be top 20 but all you need to know is.

    Lebron James

    Dwane Wade

    Don't want to start fighting about which city stacks up to that list, so my only comment will be Jonathan Quick is severely disrespected if he's #17 on that list. He carried that team to a cup this year. They even put his teammate in front of him.

    I get that LA's not a hockey city but come on. A championship is a championship and that dude made it happen.

    I would LOVEEEE to do a list based on where an athlete was born instead of where an athlete plays it wouldnt even be close more athletes come out of SWFL then anywhere.

    if thats correct it was a guess, although i do feel like I have heard the name. Pretty easy to make that guess tho since they are #1 now and how big they are there.
