SI.com had this cool thing where they took the characters from Lost and picked their sports equivalents. This is what they came up with:

Because he's hoarded guns and other key supplies, though, he can't be ignored. T.O. griped his way out of S.F. and Philadelphia into better deals elsewhere, but his impressive guns and undeniable talent continue to make him a key figure in the game. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD class=photo_a>

Even so, he's willing to do anything (including torture) to get the job done. The well-traveled Bowen has carved out a key role as a defensive stopper on Spurs championship teams while emerging as a wise man in the locker room. But Bowen's critics call him dirty for using any and all physical means to stop an opponent.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD class=photo_a>

Still, you don't want to cross a man who literally carries a big stick. Martinez was portrayed as a headhunter early in his career before maturing into one of the game's most respected pitchers. Just ask Jose Guillen, however, if you should get too comfortable carrying a bat against Pedro even now.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD><TD class=photo_a>
