The youngsters may have only seen Kareem in reairings of 'Airplane' but he certainly belongs on this list. Also, during his farewell game, all of his teammates wore goggles and everyone tried the sky hook at some point. Kareem also inspired teammate James Worthy to carry on the Lakers' google wearing legacy...The Fish that saved Phillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172879872109344848.post-34707152739605404462008-01-29T11:08:30.692-05:002008-01-29T11:08:30.692-05:00George Mikan's specs were outstanding because they made him look like a lawyer who just happened to play pro ball at nights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172879872109344848.post-27159523169673553352008-01-29T10:24:41.923-05:002008-01-29T10:24:41.923-05:00And I'd like to suggest, Mr. October, Reggie Jackson.

The 1989 Indians had gone 30 years without winning the pennant, a showgirl had just taken over the team and was filling the roster with has-beens and nobodys. Vaughn had done some pitching in the California Penal League but had big time control issues. It was not until he received a pair of prescription specs that everything came into focus and Vaughn, Willie Mays Hayes, Pedro Cerrano and the rest of the Tribe won the pennant! A truly fitting addition to your story on the contribution of eyewear to sport.MBBnoreply@blogger.com
