This just feels unfair

Yeah, this one is a bit obvious lol

Obviously Mario but 69 is a vulgar number and I always liked to call Hejduk "Hedge Duck" so I will give him some love

Hejduk is an underrated guy today. He deserves more attention and should be brought up more often with other stars. Not sure why some great players get forgotten when some seem to stick in the minds of fans for so long.

Anywhoo...

I voted Mario without the slightest hesitation.
