Best "succession" in sports history?

DanMetroMan : 9/15/2014 11:42 pm
Obviously Andrew Luck sure looks like a potential all-time great and Peyton is top 2-3 greatest ever... my question is this... what team had the best "succession" at any position in sports history? DiMaggio to Mantle? Montana to Young in the NFL?
montana to young

has to be up there. From one HOF to another HOF QB
David Robinson / Tim Duncan

didn't work out too bad either.
Favre to Rodgers has to be in the conversation

A notch ahead of Manning - Luck to date courtesy the title, though there's obviously plenty of time left for that to change.
Luck needs to win

A Super Bowl and it's hard to think that evening he does that tops Montana and Young. Also the Colts D still is kinda sucky. Gave away a home game today. Refs helped but still need to win that game. They aren't beating Denver w that D
As a Red Sox fan it pains me to say

But it has to be DiMaggio to Mantle. Montana to Young a distant 2nd.

Montana to Young or The Admiral to The Big Fundamental.
DiMaggio to Mantle

But LT to Strahan wasnt too bad for us

Alcindor..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 9/16/2014 9:40 am : link
to Walton wasn't too bad for the Bruins, but there was a gap.

Ewing to Mourning was pretty damn good too.
Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Floyd Little, Larry Csonka, & Joe Morris  
Marty in Albany : 9/16/2014 9:42 am : link
at Syracuse.
Don Vito to Michael was pretty good  
Chaka : 9/16/2014 9:44 am : link
though that Sonny period was a little volatile.
DiMaggio to mantle

What about tommy C
Can they overlap??  
chrispisano66 : 9/16/2014 10:15 am : link
If so Ruth-Gehrig-Joe D-Mantle can never be topped.

Montana-Young
Favre-Rodgers
Manning-Luck
Syracuse RBs
Robinson-Duncan
Joe D to Mantle is pretty tough to top.  
Mad Mike : 9/16/2014 10:22 am : link
Two truly elite players. Sticking with baseball, Ted Williams to Yaz certainly wasn't bad, though I wouldn't put quite at that level.
Brees - Rivers?  
Bubba : 9/16/2014 10:31 am : link
Not best but not bad.
Gump Worley to Eddie Giacomen

Bill Walton as a goalie would be quite an image!! :)

Ewing to Zo was a good transition, but would rank them below some of the more championship ones listed here.
Cool thread.

Mario Lemieux to Sidney Crosby is pretty tough to top.
Not even a contest
