Third-Best Wilson Ever

[G-Fafif]

Mookie is unassailable in the top spot. Through five innings, C.J. is next. Who would be third?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I like Willie. (In either coke-fueled or non-coke-fueled varieties.)

But as I once had a dream, so I packed up and split for the city... I'll vote Brian.

Spent one of the most memorable nights of my life with Wilson Pickett.

Write in vote: Jackie Wilson

Hack Wilson feeling unloved, too, and suddenly craving 191 drinks from the great beyond.

I voted for "Vance" but only because "Flip" wasn't one of the choices.

"Reet Petite."

I'm going way off the charts and nominating Wilson Delgado.

Let's not forget the volleyball that Tom Hanks spent three years fucking on a desert island.

The late Don Wilson turning over in his grave...but throwing another no-hitter the whole time.

[G-Fafif]

Stayed overnight once or twice on a NY-FLA jaunt in Wilson, North Carolina.



Don't let the banner fool you. The place was lousy with Communists.

While the not-late Don Wilson remains a standard bearer for kickboxing, the sport of the future. (At least if you ask Lloyd Dobler.)

Remember when they "discovered" his 191st RBI? I remember thinking, what other stats aren't as complete as we think they are?

Teddy:

I remember seeing film of him on tv as a member of the Benny Goodman Quartet.

I picked Paul. When he was on, he was awesome. What a shame that he was injured.

Wilson, NC is our neighbor to the south along I-95. They may be a lot of things, but communist they're not.

You can't throw this out there and not give up the details!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just a really great concert on a really cold night circa February 1986.

[Theoldmole]

Had to go with the Wicked Mr. Pickett, altough I've enjoyed a lot of Owen's movies. And I'll second 62 and Teddy.

I was looking for Tom Hank's Coconut friend "Wilson" in "Cast Away."

[Benjamin Grimm]

And let us not forget Dooley Wilson:



As Ingrid Bergman says, nobody sings As Time Goes By like he did.

[G-Fafif]

Former interim governor Malcolm Wilson -- the Roy McMillan of New York State, if you will -- flies under radar as usual.

Did I say Communists? I meant columnists. Look at the columns on that building on the left.

The left...hmmm...
