If I could be any sports player from history I would be Joe Montana from the 1980s San francisco 49ers. I would want to be him because he won four Super Bowls and he set all sorts of records. What made him famous is he was one of the best quarterbacks of all time and is in the Football Hall of Fame. People still remember him to this day because he had one of the best receivers of all time (Jerry Rice), won four Super Bowls, and is in the Hall of Fame. I would also be him because every one who watches football knows he was.

If I could be any famous athlete I would be Summer Sanders. Sanders is a swimmer who has world timing records. Sanders is a swimmer like me. She knows how to do every single stroke. I want to be her because the reason she went to the Olympics is because she practiced ALL the time. She has many gold medals. Thats why I would like to be Summer Sanders.

If I could be anyone I would be Babe Bruth. I would be him because he was the best baseball player of all time. What made him famous was he hit the most home runs in the history of baseball. The resin that people still remember him is because no one has ever has beaten his score. But he had lots of problems in his family. But one I will beat his score.

If I could be a sports figure, I would be Wayne Gretzky, of course. I would be him because he was the best hockey player ever to play.He set records for most goals in a season, most goals in a game, and so many more.

If I could be any sports figure in history I would be Babe Ruth. He played baseball and he was famous for hitting home runs. He had the record for the most home runs in history for many years. He was very popular. Most people don't know that he was also a very good pitcher. He is probably the best player ever.

I actually do not watch sports that much so I really do not have a favorite person on a team. If I did watch sports the one that I would probobly pick someone from hockey. Me being honest I do not watch sports that much unless if it is a important event. In all i do not have a favorite player because I do not watch sports that much.
ReplyDeleteThe one above is Brennan#2
DeleteIf i could be a sports person from history i would be babe ruth.I would want to be him because he is one of the best baseball players ever.He set the record of most home runs finishing with 714 home runs (wow)!!!!!!!!!!And now the record 755 who Hank Aaron has his name on that title.Even though I am a girl I still think it would be cool to be him.

If I could be a historical person, I'd be any king. Just a king that rules over somewhere, not the president. I would treat the people fairly and cure their sicknesses, make sure they have enough food on their plate each night. Also, I'd try to make treaties with other countries, stop the wars, the fighting, even the arguing. There was no need for any of that. If I could pick a country, I'd pick Great Britain. When the colonist left Great Britain because the king was awful. I'd be their new king, then I'd take them to America with me, I'd free slavery and much more that could be done way earlier back then.

CRAP I MESSED UP SORRY EVERYONE CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!
DeleteThe one under is my real one, sorry!
DeleteIf I could choose a historical person in history, It'd be Charles Woodson. He's a beast at linebacker and a great help to his team, both just like me. We're very identical, not by looks but by personalities. We both get in fights, we argue, we both love football, and our favorite position is linebacker.He plays in the NFL, I want to play in the NFL when I grow up. Funny thing, I'm the star of my football team because of my speed and ability to juke, outrun, and trick the other players puts me in a top position.
ReplyDeleteConnor #25
If I really had to choose one it would be Anna Pavolva. I would because she is awesome at ballet. She would help me get my posture nice and straight and that would be good for me because I slouch sometimes! She made the point ballet shoe! If I were her I would teach young girls how to do ballet!!

If I could have been any sports player in history, I would be Babe Ruth, one of the best baseball players in the history of baseball. Babe Ruth scored the most home runs in a game. I play baseball and would love to be able to hit a home run. Babe Ruth is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. I would also like to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame some day.
ReplyDeleteJacob#19
I would want to be Jackie Robinson.I would want to be Jackie Robinson because he was the first African American to play in the major league baseball.What made him famous was him being the first African american to play major league baseball.I think Jackie Robinson is really encouraged to do that because any other african american scared to do that but he did.
