GOAT
Basketball=Michael Jordan
Baseball=Babe Ruth
Hokey=Wayne Gretzky
Football=Lawrence Taylor on defense (no offensive player is a clear number 1)

These players were all aquarians. Theyre resumes speak for themselves... Is it no wonder Mr. Phil Ivey is a fellow aquarius? interesting...

Taken from an ESPN interview with Malcolm Gladwell, author of "Outliers"
http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=merron/081208

Quote:
ESPN:The first chapter in "Outliers" is about how some Canadian hockey players born in the first months of the year enjoy advantages that those born later in the year don't have. You also write that birth month correlates closely with success in other sports. Why is this?

Gladwell:It's a beautiful example of a self-fulfilling prophecy. In Canada, the eligibility cutoff for age-class hockey programs is Jan. 1. Canada also takes hockey really seriously, so coaches start streaming the best hockey players into elite programs, where they practice more and play more games and get better coaching, as early as 8 or 9. But who tends to be the "best" player at age 8 or 8? The oldest, of course -- the kids born nearest the cut-off date, who can be as much as almost a year older than kids born at the other end of the cut-off date. When you are 8 years old, 10 or 11 extra months of maturity means a lot.

So those kids get special attention. That's why there are more players in the NHL born in January and February and March than any other months. You see the same pattern, to an even more extreme degree, in soccer in Europe and baseball here in the U.S. It's one of those bizarre, little-remarked-upon facts of professional sports. They're biased against kids with the wrong birthday.


I'm not sure that I can see a reason that this could/would apply to poker, since there isn't really a season for the game and people can get one-on-one coaching at any time regardless of their birthday.

I used sports as an example... the greatest leaders, musicians, as well as scientists have been aquarian as well. Close to 80pct of people in halls of fame are aquarius.
