Lights, Camera, Fan Reaction: 10 Film Athletes Who Left Us With Positive Legacies

Taylor is best known for his role in helping the Cleveland Indians defy all odds and capture the pennant, despite having a roster full of no-names and has-beens. Taylor was an important part of the team.

Aside from being the starting catcher, he helped tutor some of the young talent on the team. He especially took a liking to Rick "Wild Thing" Vaughn (not on the list). Vaughn ended up being a terrific closer for the Indians.

Thank you Jake Taylor.

Henry Rowengartner helped turn the Cubs into a contender in 1993. His fastball was clocked at over 100 MPH and seemed to be unhittable. He was also 12 years old! This cries steroids!

However, Rowengartner's arm strength was caused by a freak accident in the Spring of '93. His loss was the Cubs gain. Rowegartner only played for one year, but he gave us a reason to believe by retiring instead of trying to prolong his career with PED's.

Known for her fast glove, "The Cat", originally from Bangor, Maine, stole our hearts at the Junior Goodwill Games in 1994. By stopping Gunnar Stahl (tested positive in '95), Julie made headlines in the USA. Julie has been linked romantically to both Henrik and Daniel Sedin, but she hasn't let the fame get to her head, and has played honestly her whole career.

Billy Chapel is a sure fire hall of famer. This Tiger has seen it all: the ups, the downs, and even perfection.

Leading up to his last start of the 1999 season against the New York Yankees, Chapel had been thinking about retiring. When he threw a perfect game, he knew it was time. Chapel was all about the game. He loved the game so much, so you know he would never tamper with PED's just, "for love of the game."

As the all time leading home run hitter in Single A baseball, Crash Davis was known for his power. He also was known for his baseball expertise. He tutored stud prospect Ebbie "Nook" Laloosh until "Nook" was called up to the majors. You could say Crash's job was to set an example for young Laloosh.

What good of an example would he be if he was a cheater? Not a good one. Crash could have used steroids to maybe have a shot at playing in the show, but he knew baseball was about the love, not the glory.

Some say "The Jet" had lost a step toward the end of his career, but we all know he brought fireworks when he was in his prime. Benny Rodriguez was baseball.

Benny was never about the fame and fortune, he was about playing America's game with his buddies. You could say his innocence was what separated him from all the egomaniacs that play the game these days. If "The Jet" took steroids, my childhood was built on a lie.

Rod Tidwell knew he had talent that was worth something. He knew if he worked hard, it would pay dividends. With his savvy agent/friend Jerry Maguire by his side, Tidwell took his talent to the bank.

All his honest hard work paid off, and he didn't have to cheat to make the big bucks. There is no way a man like him needs steroids, and there is no way a friend like Jerry Maguire would ever let him do steroids.

After the 1996 Sugar Bowl disaster, Ohio State's Shane Falco was never the same. He had all the promise of a budding young star, but he lacked confidence.

When Falco stepped away from football, he could have taken steroids to help him get back on track to the NFL, but instead he retired to his boat. Karma gave Falco another shot as he led the Washington Sentinels to an unlikely playoff birth during the pro strike of 2000.

Urbana, Ohio, was the home to Heisman winner Kevin O'Shea. It was his town. Too bad on one afternoon, it became a different O'Shea's town.

Younger brother Danny led the Little Giants to victory over the Cowboys in the Pee-Wee Football Championship. While Kevin O'Shea's Cowboys were heavily favored and heavily drugged, Danny O'Shea's Little Giants held true to their name and did not try to cheat to win.

They used their chemistry and good coaching to defeat the Cowboys. Their emotional leader was Danny's daughter, Becky "The Ice Box" O'Shea, who with steroids could have enough testosterone to become a man and play pro. However, the "Ice Box" decided against using steroids and dabbled in cheerleading.

The best captain in sports history, Charlie Conway, was an example for youth hockey players everywhere. We watched him grow up from Minnesota Pee-Wee third liner, to Jr. Goodwill Games gold medalist, to prep school star; all while remaining drug free.

Conway was a decent hockey player, but his intangibles were his best weapon. He was the Mighty Ducks leader throughout their history. From lowly District 5 to the Eden Hall Ducks, Conway was there to help his teammates when they were down. Conway would never cheat.
