My top 5

Gale Sayers
Bob Gibson
Roberto Clemente
El Duque Orlando Hernandez
Willie Mays

These five were off the top of my head but all five were as smooth as they come.

Journeyman I like your list a lot but just do not see El Duque being there. I do not see it at all. All the others are perfect though.

Journeyman · Oct 27, 2006

Yea, I know he stands out..he's a throwback player though...he looks like he was a pitcher from the 60's...obviously not in the legendary status of the other 4....I like his style though,he wears the high socks, hat down, classic looking pitcher, unique windup etc....plenty of others can be named for sure...

I was looking for players that were born simply awesome....no weights, no steroids, these guys all were blue chippers....Gretzky is a great one.

Iceman · Oct 27, 2006

this one is completly out there but I always tell people that Carlos Guillen is one of the smoothest looking players in baseball. Switch hitting SS who just looks equally as strong on offense as on defense.

Journeyman · Oct 27, 2006

My all-time fav though would be Roberto Clemente...he even had a perfect name!

If I could be any player it would have been him.

Under this definition, no doubt Nash belongs.

Roger Federer. He makes the ridiculously hard look easy and his play seems almost effortless.

Iceman · Oct 27, 2006

What about John Daly or Jarred Lorenzen? You have to be quite a natural athlete to get away with playing sports at a high level with their bodies.
