As someone who came to Seattle in 1983, a list like this is Gold. Thanks for reminding me on athletes I had enjoyed and forgotten, and also the obvious athlete that I had tried to forget(Vin). I should learn a bit more about him as I did not know that he was dealing with some demons.
Wow this is gonna be cool! First installation was great - thank you!

Darren - this is awesome to hear. This is a really fun project for Kevin and I. In some ways, #91-#100 was the hardest part because of athletes like Vin Baker!. Here is a cool story about his recovery: https://kearnsgroup.org/former-nba-all-star-vin-bakers-journey-to-sobriety/
Thanks for the link! But a bit conflicted as Howard Schultz was pivotal in Vin’s recovery. lol An awesome read!
Howard Schultz definitely not the most popular guy in the Seattle sports community :)
