Morning Rounds, May 6th
Yesterday, at the AMA hit for hearts benefit, John Gonzalez brought up a fantastic bar question. I know he’s going to use it for a column eventually so I won’t burn the heart of the question (UPDATE: he ran it today, check it out) but the jist of it was this: who are the most recognizable current athletes in Philadelphia? Considering that some of the most obvious answers – Allen Iverson, Brian Dawkins, Bait Burrell) have all recently walked away its an intriguing question, and one everyone seems to have their own unique opinion on.
Personally, I was one of the guys advocating for Dalembert, merely because the minute he walks into a room you know he’s a basketball player and your mind starts racing in an attempt to figure out who. There is a real cross section of the city who could sit complacently while Chase Utley strolled by. Conversely, if the same thing happened to Sammy D they’d all immediately start prying their brains trying to figure out who the big guy was. Anyway, its one of those questions that will keep you thinking for the next week or so, so, enjoy.
(for those of you keeping score, this totally counts as a ‘read’)
