[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]T[b]he most beloved Washington athlete is Cal Ripken. 6ft20” the reason why Ovechkin chose #8 most likely. [/b].Also - try going into the office 2131 times in a row Pandemic wouldn’t have stopped Cal and neither did Kevin Costner. That is the end of the discussion.

But if I check my own ballot box I’ll find: #28 Darrel Green. Then Brady Anderson. Then Dale Hunter/Adam Oates. Then Coach Gibbs

I am a Washington Native. I cannot even describe how important Baltimore Orioles were from the beginning of my youth right up until Jeffrey Mayer stole the ball over Tony Terasco’s head.  That night I learned just how evil the Yankees were and how life is often unfair and we should just grab whatever we perceive to be ours - regardless of respect for others.

And that is how you know I’m a true Washingtonian. [/quote]

False and very false.    :roll:

Cal is beloved, for sure.  He is not the most beloved WASHINGTON athlete.

Huge hockey fan here, but it's a niche sport and so while Ovi will go down as the greatest goal scorer in history, probably not the most beloved athlete.   Who is?  Depends on the age of the respondent.   Could be Sean Taylor.   Could be Jayden, depending on the next decade.

Regarding the Gre8t, sweater number.
Ovi wears 8 as a tribute to his mother, who wore 8 when she played basketball for the Soviet Union. She was a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
