Crazy For The Game


I love sports. I love the passion it incites in a fan base, the dedication you see in the players and the inspiring, hilarious, uplifting stories that come out of each season. I also love a good list. Take some items and throw numbers in front and I'm right there with ya. Which is why I love this list that I found on Bleacher Report of the 22 Most Eccentric Athletes of All Time. GENIUS. Because who doesn't love a good character on your favorite team? This year San Francisco had Brian Wilson, and he really does seem to live up to the crazy, but I loved reading through the list of others, some of whose names I know, others I've never heard of before. But all of them are worth knowing about. At the very least it's a fun way to kill a few minutes, but to me it's a reminder of how we learn to love our athletes, despite and because of all of their quirks.
