A Cup of Joe

Name a famous athlete named Joe. The first one that comes to my mind is Joltin' Joe DiMaggio.  Do people still remember him as Mr. Coffee?  I do.  

Here are another handful of Hall of Fame Joe's.

Torre and McCarthy rank #5 and #8 on the list of winningest managers in baseball history.  They led their teams to 4,451 wins.  They went to 15 World Series and won 11.  Of yeah, Joe Torre was a 9 time all-star as a player.

T

Another Joe-ish Hall of Famer, Morgan was a 10 time All-Star and 2 time World Series Champion.

I have a couple of football Joe's.   The first Joe that comes to mind is no average Joe by any stretch of the imagination.  Another New York icon, "Broadway Joe" led his AFL Jets to the shocking Super Bowl III win in 1969.

While not as charismatic as Namath, Joe Montana had the more spectacular career, winning 4 Super Bowls in San Francisco.

Who are your top Joe's?

    For baseball, it would have to be DiMaggio and Torre. (Joe Morgan never sermed to be a likeable guy.)

    For football, Joe Namath and Joe Greene. I was never really a fan of Namath (or the Jets) back in the day, but you have to give him his due: football success, charisma, and charm. And all while maintaining an air of being an average Joe: "Hey, I'm just trying to get along."

    Namath and I played on the same football field. He for high school tackle football, and me for intercollegiate flag football. Sadly, that's where our commonality ends. LOL

    I thought of Mean Joe Greene at the last minute. I do have a card or two. I wanted to add Joe Sakic but the card I know I have is god knows where. For basketball I thought of Joe Dumars but it would have been to much work to find him as well.

    Not the same level but the Yankees also won a World Series with Joe Girardi as manager. In football the Giants had two excellent running backs in their history named Joe Morris and Joe Morrison.
