Baseball- Seen a lot of great ones growing up going to Riverfront about 20 times a season from 84-97..Would probably have to go with Ozzie Smith(Defensively) and Bonds with the stick.

Football- Walter P.

Basketball- Pride myself on never going to an NBA game. Jim Jackson is probably the best I have seen live in college.

Hockey- Mario

Baseball... seen a lot of baseball. Nolan Ryan, Mike Scott, Barry Bonds, Griffey Jr., Ichiro, A-Rod, Jeter, Clemens... Bonds is probably the best really, but I would still say Nolan Ryan.

Football... Aaron Brooks? Really don't know, I went to a few Saints games in the late 90s / early 2000s and I don't even remember who they played against. One might have been against the Rams, so maybe Kurt Warner or Marshall Faulk if they were there.

Basketball... Hakeem Olajuwon, easily.

Hockey... never been

I wasn't able to make that one, but the only two hockey games I've been to were- Germany v Sweden & Swiss v US.

Football. Damn, tough one. Bradshaw or Aikman


Unless you saw Bradshaw late in his career or Aikman when E. Smith was holding out, this is not the correct answer.

football - orlando thomas, every friday night for two years.

i would add that the best play in football is the Mauk to Green TD to win against Georgia during the season that we won the BCS.

Baseball - Nolan Ryan, Goose Gossage, Rollie Fingers, Roger Clemens, Albert Pojuls....

the best play i was fortunate to see in baseball was when Pojuls hit a HR out of Minute Maid Park off of Lidge in the divisional playoffs. i'm an astros fan, but that HR was amazing to see.

Baseball - never saw Bonds, so... probably A-Rod. Man, that sucks.

Football - Ray Lewis. I think I saw him eat John Elway's soul.

Basketball - Jordan. The Wizard years. Does that still count? Otherwise, Dr. J.

Hockey - I've seen Ovechkin and I want to say him, but come on, I saw Gretzky. Those 80s Oiler teams were ridiculous.

Who was playing? Yet another stupid move by the Flames, letting Squid walk to the Habs so they could sign Kotlik.

I just threw up in my mouth.
