Title: Your favorite retired pro-athlete?

I want to say MJ after he retired from the BULLS....but I also want to say Bo Jackson as if it were not for his injuries, there is no telling how far he could accel in either sport or both. Not many ppl can play two sports as well as he did and he was basically cut down in his prime.

Mark Grace. I thought about it, and he absolutley has to be my favorite.

I honestly think they should totally dedicate the 1st base line at Wrigley Field to him simply because he hit about 300 doubles in his career down that 1st base line :)

See Yuz.

Probably MJ. Maybe Larry Bird.

Does \'retired\' include dead or long-retired players? (i.e. Babe Ruth)

Steve Young also. I will never forget watching him hit T.O. in the endzone as time expired to beat the Packers in the playoffs... Awesome pass.

I\'m gonna follow along and say Barry Sanders.  Some guys play their career out but he bowed out accomplishing so much without overstaying his welcome.
