First things first, a massive congratulations to The Blue Testament/Shades of Blue podcast friend Jimmy Nielsen for being inducted as a Sporting Legend Wednesday night. In related happenings… The irony of Sporting ending the match versus Colorado Rapids with six homegrowns on the pitch after a possible and a definite future Legend – Johnny Russell and Roger Espinoza – had been subbed off to get them some rest was not lost in the reflection on the night. And that leads to the first wondering.
How many of the six homegrowns on the field (or the 13 homegrowns currently on the roster) will be Sporting Legends one day?
