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

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.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 15 2010 08:36 PM Re: Third-Best Wilson Ever

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

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

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.

(At least if you ask Lloyd Dobler.)

Teddy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Wilson I remember seeing film of him on tv as a member of the Benny Goodman Quartet. Later

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

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

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 Oct 16 2010 01:18 PM Re: Third-Best Wilson Ever

And let us not forget Dooley Wilson: As Ingrid Bergman says, nobody sings As Time Goes By like he did.

G-Fafif Oct 16 2010 02:55 PM Re: Third-Best Wilson Ever

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

The left...hmmm...
