Manny Laureano has a spectacular aura about
Athletes and trumpeters

Okay, here's the question:

If you could be the trumpeter version of a well-known athlete, past or present, who would it be and why?

This was tough for me to figure out because two of the athletes I admire most died young, Lou Gehrig and Bruce Lee. I love what Pete Rose did as a player but that bloody scandal kind of wrecked everything. So, maybe for me it's Joe DiMaggio. He made everything look easy but I hear he was a bit of jerk... nah, scratch that.

Maybe Nolan Ryan... wild as a kid but grew up and took his art seriously. Yeah, I like that. And he started in NYC with the Mets! Yeah, the Ryan Express.

Okay, your turn.
