# 7 Fred Lynn


It's Freddie. What a great young outfield Boston had in the mid 1970s. Jim Rice is left, Fred Lynn in center, Dewey Evans in right field.

Let me explain, I entered this quiz by view at the bottom of the page and I wa scrolling up and I saw Jürgen Klinsmann first before I saw first.

#23 Barry Sanders?


Yes, it's Barry. He's the best running back I ever saw. When he played, Detroit never has a good QB. You always knew Barry was gonna get the ball. He'd run 50 yards all over the place just to get a 9 yard gain. He was amazing.

#11 is Frank, #8 is not Vialli. Correct sport, correct country, but not the right player.


12. Ben Crenshaw?


Yeah, #12 is Ben, is his younger years.

Thought so. In retrospect, I believe Vialli was bald for most of his career, so definitely not him.

The player I am looking for wasn't a scorer, played in the back as a defender.

Yup, it's Paolo. He was one of the best defenders ever to play. Arguably the best in the last 20 years. But it's debatable.
