        And in terms of charisma, Kirby stands alone. Oliva had quite a little, for his day, but Carew had next to none.

          Walsh also had presence as the coach for Stanford and San Jose State, so that gives him quite the presence; but hard to argue with a QB winning 4 SBs too.

          For baseball, Mays or Bonds? Bonds has his skeletons, but a lot of Mays came in NY. In the end, even with the controversy, hard to overlook Bonds.

          For the Sharks: Thornton? I came here in 2004 so I might be overlooking earlier Sharks, but despite the playoff issues the Sharks had much more success since he's become the face of the team.

          Warriors: Gotta be Curry. Nothing against Rick Barry, but Curry's changed the game and won 3 of 4.

          Honorable mention to Wondo on the Quakes.

            It's hard to separate Walsh and Montana. Walsh changed the game, but he wouldn't have been able to without Joe.

              DC:

              Redskins: Gibbs. Some great players in the 80s too, but the lineup kept changing, Gibbs was the one continual presence.
              Baseball: Walter Johnson. Not sure any of the Nats compare.
              Hockey: Ovie? Don't want to go to the recency bias here, but a Cup and will finish as one of the top scorers of all time.
              Basketball: Uggh. Wes Unseld? Has to be someone from before I was born because since the 80s it's been mostly crap. Heck, Iverson might count if you're willing to count his years at Georgetown.

                  Carew was pretty effing surly to be honest but he was the type of player that you didn't leave your seat when he came up to bat. I still remember the summer of '77 - AL MVP and nearly flirting with .400, the '78 AS game when he hit 2 triples, the '80 AS game he had a walk, a run, a single, double and a steal, 7 batting titles? Eff you Calvin Griffith!!

                    Gotta agree with that. Despite his World Cup gaffe Wondo carried the Quakes by himself for years.

                                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
