2009-11-12T12:58:45-05:00 Who is on your Thrill List? 2009-07-09T12:39:16-04:00 789 2009-07-09T12:39:16-04:00 1 79 10 2009-11-12T12:58:45-05:00 382 MN SteveLD Saint Paul 185352 793 I think that Prove Out's win in the 1973 Woodward deserves a top 10 listing for horse racing. His time of 2:25.8 for the 1 1/2 miles is simply awe inspiring given the sloppy track and standing water. Moreover, Prove Out achieved this win by crushing the great Secretariat who also delivered an astonishingly fast 2:26.6 given these horrific track conditions. 7633478 2009-08-14T20:36:24-04:00 1 XX Bubba in Miami No City 829992 793 No Eddie Shack? 6492124 2009-08-08T23:09:56-04:00 2 NY patzeram New Hyde Park 825554 792 Just a few to consider for tennis--Ilie Nastase, Bjorn Borg (depends on who he was playing, if he played the right opponent it could be dazzling), Hana Mandlikova, Lew Hoad, Rod Laver, Bill Tilden, Jimmy Connors, Henri Leconte, Yannick Noah. 6412679 2009-08-08T23:06:51-04:00 2 NY patzeram New Hyde Park 825554 791 Just a few choices that should be considered also-- Ilie Nastase, Rod Laver, Lew Hoad, Hana Mandlikova, Jimmy Connors, Bjorn Borg (depends on who he played), Henri Leconte, Yannick Noah. 6412634 2009-08-06T03:54:12-04:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/295/81/thumb/mozart.jpg 296 CO Mozart Denver 29641 790 Only one goalie belongs on the most &quot;thrilling&quot; list -- St. Patrick. Roy had all the characteristics you list for Hasek, but Roy had the one trait that Hasek didn't -- Roy could steal a game for his team with his intensity, which translated to miracle saves. His play in the net made his teammates better. 6377598 2009-08-05T15:10:55-04:00 2 AR vicman Little Rock 823718 789 this list is ridiculous because gretzky's not on it 6370836 2009-08-05T15:07:42-04:00 2 AR vicman Little Rock 823718 788 this list is ridiculous because Gretzky is not on it 6370725 2009-07-29T12:13:10-04:00 4 MS Redskinsrich Pontotoc 819071 787 Bo Jackson?

The most striking thing isn't always who is on them but who isn't. In <strong>Jon Wertheim</strong>'s <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/jon_wertheim/06/23/thrilllist/index.html">tennis list</a>, <strong>Fabrice Santoro</strong> is on, but <strong>Martina Navratilova</strong> is not. <strong>Wayne Gretzky</strong> and <strong>Gordie Howe</strong> are absent from <strong>Michael Farber</strong>'s&nbsp; <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/michael_farber/06/29/thrill.list/index.html">hockey list</a>, but <strong>Paul Coffey </strong>and <strong>Pavel Bure </strong>are in full stride, virtually scooting up the ice. <strong>Laura Davies</strong> is a top <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/michael_bamberger/06/29/thrill.list/index.html">10 Thrill List golfer</a>, but the esteemed Bobby Jones missed the cut.</p> <p>Where have you gone, <strong>Joe DiMaggio</strong>? Some place other than <strong>Tom Verducci</strong>'s <a href="http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/tom_verducci/06/29/thrill.list/index.html">baseball Thrill List</a>.</p> <p>But that's the point. These lists are not mere compilations of all-time bests in their respective sports but all-time bests at quickening the pulse and evoking a visceral response from those fortunate enough to have witnessed their artistry.</p> <p>Who is left out? Who doesn't deserve to be on our lists? Let the debates begin.</p> 69941 18 NY The SI Staff New York City 21244
