Tommy Lasorda
All Time Sports Moment

Kirk Gibson's Homerun?
Most Memorable Game Attended

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Boston Red Sox at the Coliseum largest crowd to ever see a baseball game or perhaps the Barçelona vs. Guadlajara at the Coliseum was the largest attendence for a Club Soccer game in the U.S. Other than that I would rate a game I saw between the Long Beach Ice Dogs and the Japanese National Hockey Team that saw Long Beach rally three goals in the finaly period and then win in overtime.
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Secratariat's numbers in winning the Triple Crown MLB: Single Season Triple's Record and Cy Young's Records
Ruth or Mays?

Josh Gibson ?
Unitas or Montana?

Joe Montana
Gretzky or Orr?

The Great One
Pele or Maradona?

Pele was better but Maradona was a more important cultural figure
Federer or Sampras?

Andy Murray is the future! Go Scotland!
Tiger or Nicklaus?

Tiger even if ne never wins another major

I can't figure out how to get a horse racing article on the horse racing page. When you use the standard writing format there is no "horse racing" as a topic...I saw where BR says you can post from the Horse Racing page, but I don't know the trick...thanks. -- gp

Good day my fellow boxing enthusiast,

In an effort to foster unity and camaraderie in our little boxing community, yours truly came up with an idea of making up an article concerning the mythical pound for pound list.

The concept is inspired by our community leader Bryan Trafford.. So all credit goes to him.

I'll appreciate if you'll send me an e-mail and voiced out your opinion on the matter, nevertheless you can just post it on my BB.

My e-mail.. louierrific_24@yahoo.com

The voting process will end April 6. It's not my article, it's our article and it'll be published April 8. I expect your support guys and I hope the best for the boxing section,

Sincerely,
Louie/Lou/voodoo doll or whatever you want to call me.. =)

Joe,

Right now we all need to take time out of our day, and pray for Jim Johnson. The Philadelphia Eagle's defensive coordinator who was diagnosed with skin cancer. Let me know what you think. Thanks
