About Dave »

I grew up in the 60's, a sort of golden age of sports in Southern California. My afternoons were spent playing, watching, thinking about, and dreaming about baseball. As such, I came to love and admire the grit of players like Willie Mays, Bob Gibson, Don Drysdale, and Pete Rose. Players who put on the spikes, grabbed the glove, and went out to play, and win. No matter what.

That is what I look for in sports and athletics. People who are willing to leave it on the field. Every time they go out there.

Also, if you are wondering about the photo, it's because i love coffee, the nectar of the gods!

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Can't say for sure, but I doubt anyone will ever win 30 games again.
Ruth or Mays?

Mays. He'd have hit 800 if he did not play in the Polo Grounds and Candlestick
Unitas or Montana?

Montana.
Jordan or Russell?

Jordan. i'd never pick a Celtic. I'm from Los Angeles!
Gretzky or Orr?

Gretzky
Pele or Maradona?

Pele.
Federer or Sampras?

Borg was better than either of them
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Jack. Remember, he still has more major wins and if he didn't win, he was second. Always in the hunt when it mattered.
Petty or Earnhardt?

Petty
Schumacher or Senna?

Quien sabe.
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Depends on the year. Great defense, SEC. Great offense, PAC 10.
