I think you should have a rule that the player should have played X % of their career in a city. Gretzky in my mind could count for LA or Edmonton. NY? C'mon...
Weak sauce, even for you.
100% of the time I went to watch him play in person he was wearing a Rangers jersey.
Same with Messier.
He’s a New Yorker.
100% of the time I went to watch Hakeem Olajuwon play he was wearing a Raptors jersey.
He’s a Torontonian.
Correct. So you understand the rules.

Do people consider Nolan Ryan an Astro? If it matters, he grew up 30 minutes south of Houston.
Milwaukee has a good top two, but then you have to cheat and use packers to fill out the list:
Kareem Abdul Jabaar
Hank Aaron
Cleveland
Jack Nicholaus
LeBron
Otto Graham
Bob Feller
That’s pretty strong.
Ryan played for the Angels from 72-79. 1973 383 strikeouts two no hitters. They only had a winning record in 78 and 79. I remember a headline in one of the LA sports pages with the headline Ryan and Tanana and the rest are Bananas.
Astros 80-88

Every time I went to watch Kirk Cousins play he was wearing a Holland Christian High School jersey. This thread needs ground rules. They should have played the bulk of their career in that city. Just waiting for someone to claim Michael Jordan for Charlotte.
(I'm aware Kirk Cousins has no business in this thread but it was the best example I could think of. I never saw Magic play at Lansing Everett High)
Kansas City could claim Joe Montana and Marcus Allen....
Kansas City:
George Brett
Satchel Paige (KC Monarchs of the Negro League)
Roger Maris (KC Athletics prior to the move to Oakland)
Patrick Mahomes
Tom Watson
Joe Montana
Marcus Allen

Anaheim is not LA!!
Sandy Kofax. And for Anaheim is would be Nolan Ryan.
True, but we’re talking about the Los Angeles Angels.
Mike Trout > Nolan Ryan
