Matt the Bruins fan:
Much as I love hockey and think it has some truly handsome guys, the sport has more than its fair share of hideous ones too, and not all that much middle ground in between. I think on average baseball would come out the winner in this competition. The majority of guys are in great shape, have handsome faces, and all their own teeth.
You know, I'd agree with you about baseball, though there are types like Jenks and Wellsie (David) who are like barrels on toothpicks (and I do realize that some people find men built like this attractive--I think some are too). In the past there were even more players like this--Rick Reuschel, Gaylord Perry, etc. Some were quite talented. Football players would originally have been at the top of my list, except that now you have players who're 300+ pounds! Again, I get the Girth and Mirth thing, but really, some of these guys aren't hot to start with, and then ballooned up.... Basketball seems to have decided to pick as many trolls as cuties these days, and so while I love the increasing thickness of the players, some are not easy on the eyes. And then there's hockey. There are just too few players in that sport that I find attractive, on top of which too many have no teeth, banged up faces, etc., that aren't that hot. If they all looked like Mark Messier, Pavol Demitra and Jamal Mayers, maybe...but yeesh! Overall, I'd still have to put baseball and football at the top. Among all sports, track and field, rugby and soccer win out.
