heres something that may/may not take off. i dont know. but, i got into a pissing match with my brother awhile back trying to name the most obscure Cardinals we could think of. names like Mike Laga, Tito Landrum came out and cracked us up.

but, in reality, we all know of some GREAT players that have lost their luster, too.

maybe
Vince Coleman
or
Richard Dent
or
William "the FRIDGE" Perry
or
my all-time favorite running back.....BARRY SANDERS #20
and his close 2nd..............................TONY DORSETT #33

pitchers.....NOLAN RYAN and GREG MADDUX (not that he's retired, hes just my favorite)

jump in. lets see who we cant remember.

Mario Lemeiux. Skates like a horse, too big to be knocked down, too smooth with the puck to be stopped, too injured throughout his career to ever hate him. He made everyone around him play at nigh-hall of fame levels.
