Over time, it's been like Fort Wayne has had it's own fantasy league team we were invested in emotionally during the recent baseball, football and basketball seasons. What exactly would an all-time Fort Wayne fantasy baseball, football or baseball team look like? That's how the idea for the series, "Fort Wayne's All-Time Greatest" started about a year ago. To be considered, players needed to have been born here, discovered here or developed their reputation in Fort Wayne. The amazing thing was how these teams all fit together so easily. The hardest part was whittling a couple of teams down to a regulation roster. We could have easily named three 15-man rosters in college basketball, and many players who were all-conference players were left off. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and hopefully you'll enjoy the revealing of these teams. It's simply amazing what Fort Wayne-based athletes have accomplished in these sports. We have been truly blessed as a community.
