    I saw a funny article today on the blossoming friendship between Ichiro and Junior. I think you'll like it.

        Rodeo.

        Post-break baseball and NFL are 2 and 3.

            I agree with this completely. The Cubs and the Cardinals garnered huge followings across the Midwest based on having fans on the radio. When I lived in St. Louis I talked to farmers who said they listened to every Cardinals game on the radio for decades. On the topic of baseball, I really like this map that shows the geographical location of the respective fanbases. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but the topic of baseball on the radio reminded me of it.

            I listened to a log of Cardinal games when I was at Ft. Campbell. I really enjoyed Jack Buck. I think he was one of the top 3 announcers in baseball. The other two being Vin Scully and Harry Calas (sp)

                I voted MLB because I can watch any baseball game and enjoy it. Going to a major or minor league park is always fun. I'm a Braves fan, but I'll watch a game if they're not playing.

                I used to be that way with the NBA in the mid 80's through about 2005. I got sick of the NBA style and players who I didn't know as well because they had only spent 1 year in college if any at all. Now I'll really only watch Jazz games, but I enjoy Jazz games more than baseball games.

                NFL is ok, but if it wasn't for fantasy football I'd care very little for the league. I'm a Raiders fan and until Satan cashes in his Al Davis policy I struggle watching them consistently. I do watch games but almost strictly for FF bragging rights and the cash invested. I don't enjoy NFL games nearly as much as college football.

                So as a sport, MLB wins going away. For paticular team, I'll take a Jazz game if I had to pick only one. NFL distant third. College football probably beats the all.
