All Time Sports Moment

1996 World Series. Game 6. Yankees first World Series since 1978, an 18 year drought. I was there that night, and the stadium went nuts. I'll never forget, we're sitting in the top row of the upper deck, bottom of the 9th inning, my cousin, who is 7 at the time, has to go "potty", my mom and dad shield him while he pees in a beer cup. Only in New York.

Most Memorable Game Attended

2008 Home Run Derby, maybe it's just because it's so fresh in my mind. Sure I mean I was there when the Yankees won it all in 1996 and in 1998, but the memories from those have somewhat faded, I'll still always remember them, but I know I will never forget the night I saw Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers make 53,000 NEW YORKERS chant his name. I just got chills writing that almost a week later. On an individual level, that was the most incredible thing I think I may ever see. This guy hit 13 home runs in a row, and every single one of them was a no doubter. He hit about 6 that everyone was positive was going out of the park. He had grown men jumping up and down like 7 year olds. And as he was dying down and we could all tell he was out of gas with 6 outs in the last round, he had, a place full of Yankee fans chanting his name. When Hamilton hit that last low line drive down the right field line, he had people in Yankee jerseys with their hands on their heads and the same stunned look on their faces that they had as Josh Beckett tagged out Jorge Posada for the final out in 2003.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

56 game hit streak--Joe Dimaggio. Followed by Tim Williams reaching base in 16 straight plate appearances over a 6 game span.

Ruth or Mays?

Ruth mainly based on the fact that he is a Yankee. Even though Mays may be the best all around Centerfielder in the history of the game, the way Babe Ruth revolutionized the game was remarkable. The things he did in an era where Home Runs were rare occurrences was remarkable.

Jordan or Russell?

Jordan because I saw Jordan play. Russell was before my time, and I am slightly impartial to the new-era. Also Jordan wore longer shorts.

Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky, he is one of the most dominating athletes of all time. Fun story, I was at the game in the Garden when he tied and broke the all-time assists record, I was in the bathroom for both goals, what can I say I was like 7.

Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger. He just won an ESPY as the Best Male Athlete. Who really called golfers athletes before he showed up?

Petty or Earnhardt?

I am from North Jersey. Enough said. If I wanna see a race I'll drive down the parkway on a Friday night and hopefully see a few guidos fly by racing each other in souped up 1992 Nissans with tinted windows and a pumpin bass, jammin out to Benny Benassi.

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Football: SEC. Speed, speed, speed. And the atmosphere on a Saturday down South is incredible...coming from a guy who has never spent a Saturday on a college campus South of Johns Hopkins. Basketball: ACC. Duke, UNC, enough said.

    I will not be writing a 2008 preview for the Rhode Island Rams due to the fact that I don't wanna piss off any upperclassmen before practice even starts. But thanks for the suggestion cousin.
