Frank Thomas. I was an elite level baseball player until I broke my hip and tore my knee all to shit when I was 16 and wanted to be a Major Leaguer.

My childhood hero was always those awesome dads on the sitcoms they showed on nick at nite. Bill Cosby from the Cosby show and Uncle Phil from the fresh prince were my 2 favorites throughout my grade school life. Those were the 2 people I always chose when I had to write papers on my hero.
A's every time...every single time.
