Re: Your Cities "Mount Rushmore of Sports"
Jerry Colangelo will always be #1. There would be no Suns without him, there would be no Diamondbacks and our 1st pro championship without him. We would not have one of the top AFL franchises without him. There would be no spring training baseball here and the city wouldn't be near as big as it is now without his projects. He made Phoenix. Randy Johnson played more years here than Barkley, he won many Cy Youngs, was the World Series MVP in the state's only pro championship...I'd put him ahead. Barkley at #3 if anything. No one will ever touch Jerry Colangelo unless we get a Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth or Joe Montana that leads one of the teams to multiple championships and win multiple MVP's. If it makes you feel better, I know it will make me feel better taking out Olson:Jerry ColangeloRandy JohnsonCharles BarkleySteve Nash
