About Sam »

I’m an Alexandria, VA expatriate living in Brooklyn who will never stop rooting for the Baltimore Orioles, no matter how difficult they make it. Read my thoughts on the Birds here, as well as my adventures in fantasy baseball.

I doubt anyone's going to play in 2,632 consecutive games again any time soon--but then again, I don't see anyone getting 4,000 hits either.
Ruth or Mays?

Say Hey!
Unitas or Montana?

Er...football is not exactly, my, um, area of expertise...
Jordan or Russell?

...and as for basketball, I...well...
Gretzky or Orr?

...I mean, Wayne Gretzky was great on that cartoon--anyone else remember that?
Pele or Maradona?

Hooboy, now we are REALLY out of my league.
Federer or Sampras?

Tennis the Menace! Ha ha! Anyone? Hello?
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Happy Gilmore!
Petty or Earnhardt?

Ricky Bobby!
Schumacher or Senna?

Okay, now I don't even know what sport we're talking about.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Thbbbpppt!

Hey Sam,
