2B: 447
3B: 11
HR: 447
RB!: 1456
SB: 32
AVG: .307
OBP: .427
SLG: .568

From 1990 to 2000, he only hit under .300 once and hit over .340 three times. In the same time period he hit 40 or more HR four times, and failed to hit atleast 20 only twice (once being his first year with the team). He also had atleast 100 RBI in all but 2 seasons during that stretch. Had one of the all time best SLG % of .729 (he is ranked 16th all time for career SLG % and 10th in OBP) in 1994, but the season was cut short due to the player's strike. He is also a 5 time all star, a 4 time AL silver slugger, and a 2 time MVP (he came close a 3rd time in 2000 but was beat out by Jason Giambi in his steriod years).

Oh yeah.... rooting for this guy for 15 years makes me a HUGE fucking idiot.

I think that because most kids can't just go out and play hockey or drive a car around in a circle 400 times might have something to do with the LC

WTF? Why are you bringing up those sports when there is football, swimming, baseball, softball, lacrosse and track/field too? Makes zero sense

Just using hockey and NASCAR(although I don't consider it a sport) as examples. They aren't that more popular than soccer in the US(hockey anyways), but they're aren't as easy to play as soccer.

Also, swimming, lacrosse and track and field weren't being discussed(not that I saw anyways) so I didn't include them

so what's the point of using them as examples when I was talking about the "top" US Youth Sports?

Eh, really just meant in regards to major US sports, not youth. So just ignore any point I've tried to make. I REALLY should think before I post, sorry

Also, I don't really know who ECG's comments were direct at so....

but then again... this thread is about our "personal" favorites.

personally i don't consider soccer a major sport. it is in other places of the world, but i don't live there. look at me as just the american idiot, but it's my opinion.

shit... chicago has one of the top amercian soccer teams going right now.

nope.. still don't give a shit

I'll agree with 490 here. Soccer is likely the most popular sport IN THE WORLD, there's NO arguing that, but as far as I'm concerned, I couldn't honestly care any less

When you're in Colorado, it's hard to get anyone to go past the state line for ANYTHING, much less sports.

It didn't specify, but I'll keep it to active players.

Hockey: Tony Amonte (but I have a feeling after this season it could be Patrice Bergeron)

Baseball: Roger Clemens

Basketball: Antione Walker i guess, maybe Tim Duncan

NFL Football: Would have been Ted Johnson, now... hmm... Richard Seymor or Ray Lewis (but still a soft spot for Drew Bledsoe)

Soccer: I dunno, who was the chick that took of her shirt when they won the cup?

Oh, and not to keep this off-topic but on "major sports" issue.

As well known, I'm not a big soccer fan, however it's following world wide can not be argued.

When discussing the "most popular" sports, the difficult part is what you choose to decide.

Is it money spent on the sport by fans, ie: jerseys, food at games, products to play (balls, pads, sticks, etc..).

Is it people who attend in person?

Is it people who watch on TV?

Is it people who actually play.

My opinion, it has to be "people who actually play". Since not everyone has the opportunity to spend money, attend, watch sporting events. Not everyone has the money to buy a ticket or jersey, not everyone live near a pro football (nfl) or hockey game, not everyone has a TV etc...

Now, when it comes to "people who play" you'll find a huge following, although as I've debated on here before, I still contend it has a lot to do with cost/ease of playing on a pickup level vs other sports. You will also find Basketball high on this list and in the top 10 (maybe 20) sports we never considered such as Volleyball, Table Tennis, Dragon Boat Racing, heck even Team Handball puts in a claim.

Of course, there is no easy way to track "who plays" so we turn to Dollars and in the US, while many kids play soccer (which has a lot to do with parents feeling it's a "safe sport" vs. Football or Hockey, also the costs involved) it hasn't made it to the major level, I can only speak for the local pro soccer team, but do any of the MLS teams come close to selling out their stadiums?

The only time Soccer sells out or comes closer around here is a world cup qualifier type things or a game involving teams from other countries, and the places fill up with people from thouse countries, but very few americans.

It is kind of surprising that so many people have listed Larry Walker. Is it a Canadian thing or was he like the man before I paid much attention to baseball? I know he was real good like averagewise, but I mean like the actual man, like Anybody Thrilla.
