These are in no particular order Red sox win the world series Mets come back to beat Red Sox in 86 series McGwire (and Sosa for that matter) break Maris' record Miracle on Ice US gets ass kicked in Olympic basketball When you start intertwining sports with world events and "stories" it gets more interesting Dale Earnhardt's death Lance Armstrong What else guys??? are you referring to only in US? cuz there have been some soccer games that the whole world has practically stood still for. without a doubt, soccer is THE most popular sport in the world. theyre already talking about pulling baseball out of the next Olympics (and for good) cuz only a few countries play it, most of them over here in our little baseball world (US, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican, and few other island nations.) the only country that really plays baseball anywhere else in the world is Japan and Australia somewhat. *ps cycling may not be that "popular" in the US but nearly all of western europe was tuned in to Tour de France to see if Lance Armstrong (the American) would win again. boy, they sure do hate it when we win just about everything.

First, we're not all nearly as annoying at DJ CApp over here, so by no means paint a picture of Sox fans that way. Next, hats off to the Card's and their fans. Class act over there. A number of Sox's fans at the game reported that Cards fans said things like "Congrats" and "You guys deserved and earned it." Its great to see that in this day and age. Yankees fans could take a lesson from them Alot of you are right, from a Non-Red Sox fan point of view, this World Series wasn't nearly as exciting as the Sox-Yankees ALCS. However, the exact same thing is said for last year's ALCS and World Series. You just can't beat that rivalry in sports. No matter how hard you try. DJ, how can you not mention the Patriots 1st Super Bowl as one of the biggest stories in the last 25 years. Think about the story. You've got the whole Brady/Bledsoe thing, Bill Belichick turns the team around in 1 year from 5-11 to 11-5 Super Bowl Champs. That was a pretty big story too. Ofcourse this game is incredible for Sox fans around the globe. I was in Kenmore Square last night (That's where Fenway Park is located for those that don't know) [Fenway Park is the home of the Red Sox for those without a pulse], and it was incredible. The city was truly alive throughout the night. Much like the Patriots, this was a TEAM EFFORT. Not one guy can be singled out on this team as MVP. Its incredible that a group of individuals (and they are all individuals) can really come together and work as a Team. There isn't one guy on this team that was fighting for everyone else on the team! (Basketball could use this advice). You would think that living through years of close calls and big flops would have prepared us for let down, but every year fans Truly Believe! That's what this was all about, BELIEVE and KEEP THE FAITH! - Zack WANTED: T-Red HEATED Side Mirrors FOR SALE: 4 14" Alum Alloys and Nearly New Avid H4s Tires w/ Center Caps 2000 T-Red SVT 1995 LX V6 MTX (RIP)

I living in DC am glad to see they won, but I don't think it's the greatest night is sports ever. Boston needs to get the hell over itself! -Andy Andy W. The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

My bad, that was a typo. I didn't mean that there were fewer teams, i meant to say that there are fewer games. once a week is much easier to follow and catch up on than sports where you play 3 to 7 times a week like all the others. i didn't list the patriots as a major story because if you look at it from outside of new england, it was just another team winning the super bowl. There was some drama surrounding it, true, but nothing to the magnitude of the red sox winning it all. Now if the pats were to go undefeated and win it again this year, that would be major!!!!
