Try watching This Sporting Life, Lindsay Anderson's excellent 1963 film about a tough, ambitious rugby league player. The on-pitch scenes (shot with Richard Harris in the starring role at Wakefield Trinity's actual ground) are gripping. It's in black and white, but it's beautifully shot, and it is widely acknowledged as one of the most convincing portrayals of rugby on film.

The greatest sportsman who ever lived is Jackie Robinson. He was the first black man to play major league baseball, he was MVP in 1949 while leading the Brooklyn Dodgers to the World Series and he paved the way for racial diversity in baseball. Not to mention he's the only player in MLB history to have his number retired by ever single team. \nThe greatest sportswoman ever was Martina Navratilova. During her tennis career she won the women's singles title at Wimbledon a record 9 times!! Not to mention 18 grand slam titles and 40 doubles titles.

Yes but they will be immortalized for all of the wrong reasons.\n\nPavarotti - will be remembered for his voice or the fact that he could eat a whole provolone in one sitting?\n\nJessica Simpson - will you remember her for her voice or the fact that she thinks chickens live in the sea?\n\nDiana Princess of Wales - will you remember her as being the people's Princess or that she died with a cocaine addicted Playboy boyfriend and a drunk frenchman?\n\nJohn F. Kennedy Jr. - will you remember him as the son of a great president or as a very poor pilot?

I totally agree with you!  I am so sick of players retiring and "un-retiring"...Boxers used to be notorious for this, but now, it's extending to all sports, with the latest two examples being Clemens and Favre.  And in Clemens' case, they stopped a World Series game for his 'last pitch'.

None. The movie was a travesty. A true classic cannot be re-made.

Tin Cup?\n\nCaddyshack?\n\nDead Solid Perfect?\n\nBagger Vance?\n\nThe Greatest Game Ever Played?\n\nWhat movie you talkin about sport?

All time hits king. He deserves to be there,and it's a damn shame that hes not. People make mistakes. If Darryl Strawberry gets a million chances for snorting cocaine over and over again. Pete Rose,one of the greatest hitters ever,deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Bud Selig is an idiot!!!! I am pissed off now that I have to think hes not in the Hall of Fame.

Law school would be a good start.  Preferably at a major sports institution that also offers an entertainment law program.  Then you can connect with some of the star athletes as they graduate with you.

He needs to retire whether he gets a ring or not

Maybe it depends on how famous he/she is.. being actor or actress doesn't last forever, I would say Robert de Niro or Julia Roberts ..or more famous you ever known..

i can remember seeing flyovers in 95. why not, sports bring out emotions that you don't feel everyday, they are played by the best in the the world. and they would be nothing without the sacrifice of the countless men who gave their lives to give us the opportunity to be entertained at the highest level, + its its killer marketing

Doesn't matter...He'll always be a legend!!  I saw "8 Men Out".  That movie and others ("Field of Dreams") keep him legendary.  Hall of Fame or not...He'll never be forgotten.
