All Time Sports Moment

Podsednik's walk off home run, game two, 2005 World Series.

Most Memorable Game Attended

I was lucky enough as a youngster to see Jordan hit a game winner against the Charlotte Hornets and their flashy teal pinstripes, live in person.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

200 Points in a season, NHL. That said, Gretzky would have had 250+ in the modern day NHL.

Ruth or Mays?

A and 1. Incomparable, both have legit claim to be the greatest ever. If I had to start a team w/ both in their prime, I would take Mays.

Unitas or Montana?

Unitas. Is this even an argument?

Pele or Maradona?

Maradona, I'm a sucker of post career obesity.

Jordan or Gretzky?

Trick question. Gretzky started his career cementing his place as the best hockey player ever, but The Great One faded in a steady downward slope. Jordan was a beast when he started, but became exponentially better as the years passed, in a straight upward slope. It's all about how you finish. Jordan finished at the top of his game. Plus, Gretzky can't swing a bat. It always comes down to baseball.

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

I live in the the epicenter of the roughest, toughest conference in sport, the Big XII. Therefore I will say the Pac 10.

    Sweet. What's your e-mail? I'll probably send out four or five questions after the game Sunday night. If you can get your responses back to me sometime Monday afternoon or evening, I can get the article up sometime around the home opener.

    Hey Dieter, what's up?

    I'm trying to get some Sox fans together here on BR to do a little roundtable after the Detroit series, and I'd love for you to be a part of it. Shoot me a message back if you're interested and I'll let you know the details.
