Number 15 - Bart Starr


Athough Thurman Munson gets strong consideration here, and could be the sentimental favorite, Bart Starr is the best athlete to wear number 15, based largely on his statistics, awards and championships. This Alabama boy was drafted number 200 in the 1956 NFL draft. He went on to quarterback the Green Bay Packers to five NFL championships. Bart was the 1966 NFL MVP and led the Packers to victory in the first two Superbowls (1967 and 1968.) Did you know.....Bart Starr's real first name is Bryan? (photo courtesy of bartstarr.com)

  1. Bart Starr was a great NFL quarterback.... but does he define his sport?

    Karch Kiraly = Volleyball

    The winningest player in volleyball history. Only player to win Olympic medals in both indoor and beach volleyball.
    Won Olympic Gold in Indoor Volleyball in 1984 and 1988, and Olympic Gold in Beach Volleyball in 1996.
    Has won more tournaments (148) and more money ($3,159,773 ) than any other player on the AVP Pro Beach Tour.

    At age 45, Kiraly is the oldest player to ever compete at the highest level - still winning AVP tournaments, while beating competitors half his age. He has won at least one tournament in 24 of the 27 seasons he has played - spanning four decades

    (1978-present). Oldest player to win a Pro Beach tournament (at 41, 42, 43, and 44-years-young).

    On top of that.... 3 NCAA championships and one runner-up in his four years at UCLA.

    Also, he's 6'2" hitting over and around guys who are 6'8" to 6'10".

    Known as the best volleyball player on the planet. Hands down!

  2. Thurman Munson, a generation of little league catchers wore the number just because of Thurman.

    Bart Starr was a very goo QB on a great team but Munson defined his team.

  3. Bart Starr was more than a fine NFL QB. He was the best leader on a TEAM that defined its sport.

  4. I have Bart Starr beating out Dick Allen, Bobby Smith and Vince Carter. Thurman Munson maybe a sentimental favorite in New York, but Dick Allen takes 2nd in this group.

  5. Big ups to the first comment for knowing Karch Kiraly. I'd give him the nod simply for being the best of his sport. Starr was great though
