Joe Namath being my first sports hero ...
In Seattle we've had precious few of them, but I alway smiled broadly at Walter Jones "holding out" to miss training camp. Heh.
Randy Johnson, Erik Bedard, Jay Buhner, even Junior fit this category sometimes...
My son considers Prince Fielder to be "MLB Street" so maybe he'd contribute a little independent thought on the diamond.
Have a hunch that Mike Carp is going to be in that mold.
