1. Either Babe Ruth's entire career or sometheing from the WWE.
Fake or not, flying off a 10 foot high steel cage onto a flaming table is pretty f'ing impressive.

15. He's still best at knocking them over the fence
Though it's questionable whether he'd be there without the juice.

5. Actually, if you think about it, Dock Ellis' no-hitter
is probably the single most amazing athletic feat in history. Period.

9. David Well's perfect game
Now, I hate the Yankees with an all-consuming passion, but you've gotta tip your hat to a guy who can pitch a perfect game while half drunk, half hung over.

16. Ross Rebagliati in Nagano.
Edited on Sat Nov-03-07 08:43 PM by IntravenousDemilo
Won the very first Giant Slalom snowboarding gold medal in 1998, was found to have THC in his system, and his medal was taken from him. But he got it back right away, I suppose when the judges realized that pot isn't really a performance-ENHANCING drug. Also, snowboarding and marijuana: connection? Well, duh...

Here's a news clip that shows Ross in all his cuteness.
