these aren't even real NYC area athletes. I don't consider a John Starks, who is from fucking Oklahoma, or Patrick Ewing, whose from Jamaica, to be a NYC athlete. Sure, they play for a pro team that happens to be in NY. These guys ain't real New Yorkers. How about Ron Artest, or Jason Marquis? Cmon, people.

<p>Some thoughts -</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Seaver's not on the list because I think on the New York Mets hierarchy, players like Gooden, Strawberry, Piazza, etc. outshadow him.&nbsp; Piazza's also detrimental in that he never won a championship.&nbsp; I know Ewing didn't either, and neither did Mattingly, but both of them put their respective teams on their shoulders during bad times and carried them.<br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No Mets on the list was an oversight on my part.&nbsp; Why the hell I put Brodeur AND Stevens on there, I have no idea.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Starks was a very popular player, I will grant you that, but I think he falls into the b-list hierarchy where players like Richter, Leetch, Bavaro, and Simms are.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
