Orr led the league in scoring multiple times as a DEFENSEMAN!!! Scored 46 goals on one knee.

Name a defenseman in the NHL who has 50 points.[/quote]

In a season? Nick Lidstrom. 80 in a season, 1142 lifetime.

Football - OJ Simpson
Basketball - Bob McAdoo
Hockey - Gilbert Perreault
Baseball - Warren Spahn (he grew up in Buffalo)

Not a bad list for a minor-league town.

If we’re talking local born / raised, than probably just be Gretsky’s head from a few different angles.

But for pro sports team players, since Buffalo is already done I guess I gotta do Toronto. That shits depressing:

Joe Carter (not the best blue jay, but walk off homer makes him legendary)
Doug Flutie (bonus points for being an Argo, AND a Bill)
Chris Bosh
Dave Keon

And for douchebags, we have Harold Ballard.

Im pretty sure we Chicagoans win at this.

Kansas City-- if it’s a Rushmore, there be only four.

George Brett (MLB)
Lenny Dawson (NFL)
Tom Watson (golf)
Hank Stram (coach)

Yeah, let’s call it a rough draft.

Fun thread idea, of course.
