Championship: NHL - the Stanley Cup looks 10 X better than any of the other trophies.
Playoffs: NHL - the Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win.
Regular Season: NFL - just because there are only 16 games so every game counts for a lot.
Tradition: MLB - been around the longest.
Hall of Fame: Only been to the Hockey Hall Of Fame
All Star Game: NBA
All Star Festivities: NBA - simply because of the dunk contest
Draft: NBA - because it's only 2 rounds.

I'm so biased to baseball I would probably be tempted to answer it for almost every category. I strongly feels that it wins tradition and hall of fame hands down, but yea.

Championship: NFL
Playoffs: MLB. October baseball is my favorite thing in sports.
Regular Season: NFL. With so few games, they mean more individually.
Tradition: MLB
Hall of Fame: MLB
All Star Game: MLB
All Star Festivities: MLB
Draft: NFL
Television Coverage: NFL probably due to popularity and the amount of down time between gamedays. MLB Network is the good though.
Live Atmosphere: MLB. Ballparks and double-headers
Uniforms: MLB (very close with NHL though)
Fans: MLB (The true ones who gut out the entire season and have a real favorite team. Every sport has diehards and fairweathers though, so it's a tossup. The NFL and NHL have the more rabid fans. I feel baseball fans are often knowledgeable. It really comes down to my preferring the culture)

My apologies to the NBA and NHL. I love thee

How can you american like Baseball so much? Its terrible, I mean soccer is worse, but not by much. I have always hated baseball, it's so sucking boring. Jesus people watch a real sport or go outdoors, because baseball fucking sucks.

Now, let the response begin to me attacking your "national past time"

NFL

He didn't say top 4, he said of the "4 major sports" which is recognized as NBA, MLB, NFL and NHL since they are the 4 major professional leagues.

IC Champion 07-15-2010 08:08 PM

Baseball is on the decline, no one cares anymore, get used to it. Soon the NBA will be more popular.

IC Champion 07-15-2010 08:09 PM

Fucking stupid baseball.
