The Shortlist »

Favorite Athletes
Favorite Sports Teams

Oregon, SF Giants, Seattle Seahawks, New York Jets, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles.
Favorite Coaches

Chip Kelly, Steve Serkasian, Pete Carroll
All Time Sports Moment
Most Memorable Game Attended

Battle of the Bay, World Series, Game 3 (The that was played in full).
Most Unbreakable Sports Record

My guess, based on the amount of money, engineering and preparation required, is that most of the Bonneville Salt Flat high speed land records are pretty safe.
Ruth or Mays?

Overall I believe Willie Mays was and is a better athlete and role model than the Babe. But, the Babe was the first all-time great baseball player, and no one can take that away from him.
Unitas or Montana?

Johnny Unitas and Joe Montana are both greats in their own rights. Unitas is a bit before my time. I remember the "Montana moves." Truly poetry in motion.
Jordan or Russell?
Gretzky or Orr?

The NHL isn't my thing. Wouldn't know Wayne Gretzky if he came through my door.
Pele or Maradona?
Federer or Sampras?
Tiger or Nicklaus?

There's only one "Golden Bear." One day, far in the future we will compare their records, but for now let's leave at "Tiger is an amazing athlete and a living legend."
Petty or Earnhardt?
Schumacher or Senna?
Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

Without a doubt the Pac 10 is the conference to beat every year. It is the most competitive and consistently produces some of the finest NFL athletes.

Greetings baseball fans and friends!

I present a slide show of events from June 15th, when the Dodgers held an event which allows fans to come onto the field to hit, pitch, and field. There are some behind the scenes shots as well.
