in the 1983 'Right Stuff'. Which one was it?

John Glenn
Alan Shepard
Buddy Yeager
Gus Grissom

Answer 1

i would think John Glenn.

Answer 2

Polly was one great allrounder, for sure. You don't judge players just with their stats. You have to consider the contribution one made to the team, how important was that and in what circumstances. Shaun Pollock's contribution to the team cannot be discounted by any means. He was a bowler par excellence, bit underperformed with the bat. But he had played important knocks at crucial junctures of a match many a times in his career. Why he is not mentioned as an allrounder? Maybe he was a much better bowler than an average allrounder. He was impeccably accurate with his line & length. And most of his batting had come at the top of the tail. That is, after all the proper batsmen had come & gone. He was considered more like a bowler who could bat than a batsman itself. He was too good a bowler, and his exploits with the bat went unnoticed in the long run.

Answer 3

John Glenn in 1978, but also was in Apollo 13 as " Gene Kranz".

My favorite role by this actor was not as an actor, but as as the coach (Coach Jones) in "Radio" (came out about 5 years ago) which co-starred Cuba Gooding Jr. as the retarded boy who, with the help of the coach of a high school football team in South Carolina (and based on a true story) grew up to be a coach himself.

Answer 4

I know it's John Glenn

Answer 5

All of the above. Damn, he's good.
