The Lone Star State is well represented...Who is TOPS?

:drink: I think this is a tough one to get a clear cut winner on :think:

Nolan Ryan would be a good man to start with, although I'm certain someone will check in shortly to inform me this Hall of Famer was really just an average pitcher.

Randy "Macho Man" Savage.....the greatest WWF Intercontinental Champion of All Time !!! :aktion033

He is from Sarasota, Fla.....but Jeb Bush made it clear on election day 2000 that the entire STATE of Florida is merely a suburb of Dallas......so that makes him a Texan !!

Roger Staubach and Emmett Smith should be omitted from this, since they didnt go to school, or were born and raised in Texas.

Top 10:
Roger Clemens
Nolan Ryan
Earl Campbell
Frank Robinson
Ernie Banks
Rogers Hornsby
Eric Dickerson
Eddie Matthews
Sammy Baugh
Tommy Nobis

PS: Shaq went to highschool in SanAntonio
