Most Memorable Game Attended

Tyson vs Holyfield I (not the second one with the ear biting).
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Ruth or Mays?

Ruth. Nothing like the original in this case.
Unitas or Montana?

Montana. Class, style, coolness factor.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan. Athleticism, unperturbed concentration, natural ability to leap.
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky. Unfortunately, never got the chance to see Orr play.
Pele or Maradona?

Pele. The original is usually the best. Class on the field and off the field, unlike Maradona.
Federer or Sampras?

Sampras. As his best, Federer cannot touch Sampras, too much serve and running forehand.
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger just because I know him well.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty. I like his moustache!
Schumacher or Senna?

Senna just on style points. Schumacher is a winning machine though.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Big East. I have a soft spot for the Johnnies, specially the class of Mullin and Berry.
