One of the greatest MLB of all time dead at 80.

He truly personified “Monsters of the Midway”.

As a little kid, he was the first player I ever feared. Thought he'd hurt the Packers. Was a wounded Bear toward the end- his knee if I remember right.

Knew how to market himself with those Miller Lite conmmercials too.

You list is impressive. I'd add Chuck Cecil and Steve Atwater.

Didn’t realize it went back so far as well as the origins of it.

He was friends with my uncles parents. When they got married butkus bought them a pool table. I never met the guy. Didn't know he was a sports player I just thought he had an unfortunate name.

Butkus and Sayers and Payton were among my fave non-Rams players in the 60s


RIP Mr. Butkus
