OC Register's "Fab 15":
And The Winner Is. . . The Lists --(Nov. 2, 1999)

Last year, the OC Register published the print version of the "Fab 15" selections, but neglected to post on their website the actual list.  This year, there's a list (or so we understand).  We must be idiots, because we've actually hand-typed the entire list so that at least this year it could be preserved for posterity.

The lists are below, and they pretty much conform to what we thought was going to happen.  (We'll post up our own selections later for comparison purposes, that is if we can remember what we did with our ballot).  In the meantime though, the lists are below, and Frank has even thrown in his own lists for the "Best of the Class of 2001" separated by SoCal and other areas outside of SoCal in the West.  Oh, and If you want the nice bios which go along with each of the top selections, you'll have to buy the paper.  Spend the quarter, or better yet subscribe. It's well worth it. 

Here's the "First Team" selections for the 1999-2000 "Fab 15" :
