All-Time Sports Moment
1975 World Series Game 6 - Carlton Fisk Walk Off HR (What a GREAT game, what a great series!)
-
Most Memorable Game Attended
1991 World Series Game 6 - Twins/Braves - Kirby Puckett - BOTH a game/series saving catch and walk off HR. (Jack Buck: "And we'll see you tomorrow night!"
-
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Cy Young winning 511 games - no other record even compares.
-
Ruth or Mays?
Ruth - Best baseball player EVER. Mays was beautiful to watch, but what other left handed pitcher has hit 714 HR's? C'mon!
-
Unitas or Montana?
Tarvaris Jackson, no wait ... Scott Mitchell ... no wait ... JaMarcus Russell ... no wait ...
-
Jordan or Russell?
Wilt Chamerlain - the only individual player whose performance caused the NBA to change it's rules.
-
Gretzky or Orr?
Apples/Oranges. Gretsky was a Center while Orr was a Defenseman.
-
Pele or Maradona?
Pele - You've GOT to be good to make America actually pay attention to "Futbol."
-
Federer or Sampras?
Venus Williams (was there EVER a tennis player who, when they were "on," could simply destroy the competition so completely as this girl?
-
Tiger or Nicklaus?
Nicklaus - if you're under 40 you'll never know how great Jack was - he played against and regularly defeated 3 of the Top 7, and 6 of the Top 15 All time Major Champions while in their "prime." (Player-9, Watson-8, Palmer-7, Trevino-6, Ballesteros-5, Floyd-4 ) Tiger has only competed against 1 (Phil with 4). Jack won 18 Majors and was runner up NINETEEN times! I seriously doubt Tiger will be able to match THIRTY SEVEN Top 2 finishes in the Majors (and he's not playing the competition Jack did!)
-
Petty or Earnhardt?
Junior Johnson - there wouldn't BE Petty or Earnhardt without Junior.
-
Schumacher or Senna?
I have no idea or interest.
-
ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12 or SEC?
Depends on the year which is best ... but I'm a BIG TEN man!!! Go B1G!
