Newsday’s sixth annual list of top New York-area sports stars features a new No. 1 – a tall, skinny 33-year-old.
Come to think of it, No. 2 on the list also is a tall, skinny 33-year-old. Coincidence, or theme?
Our list of 22 stars for ’22 has the usual rules: Current athletes only! Coaches, executives, announcers and radio hosts are not eligible. And only players based east of the Hudson are included, other than Jets and Giants.
