It is true that Patrik Stefan is in the conversation for the worst number one pick in NHL history, with the relatively weak history of the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets, he still can make it on a list such as this.

Playing his last six of his ten NHL seasons with the Winnpeg Jets, Mark Stuart patrolled the blue line in an effective stay-at-home fashion.  Stuart’s rugged style of play has not resulted in a lot of points but that is not what he is paid to do.

Five times an All-Star as a Detroit Tiger, George Kell would finish in the top ten in MVP voting three times.  Kell, who would get into the Baseball Hall of Fame via the Veteran’s Ballot in 1983, would twice lead the AL in Hits and win the coveted Batting Title while wearing the iconic “D” of Detroit.  In the 826 Games he played in Motown, Kell would secure 1,075 Hits with a Batting Average of .325.  Kell, who would also be a broadcaster for the team, would be honored in RIghtfield in 2000 along with many other Tigers legends.
