After being introduced to it last summer I've got pretty into baseball now, ice-hockey's CLEARLY quality too. Basketball seems OK, but American/Canadian football seems shite to me, although I've never really paid it too much attention.

Just the four 'big ones' to choose from I'm afraid.

Baseball and hockey are the best spectator sports, IMO. Basketball is OK to play but is rubbish to watch.

Grid iron? Can't really see the appeal. I'll watch it for the spectacle but it's a ridiculous sport IMO.

Well argued sir.

The fact is that they are all brilliant to those who like them.
My favourite is obviously baseball, and particularly the Cardinals, currently hard on the heals of the Cubbies for the National League Central.
I haven't got time to tell you how fantastic a night at the ballpark can be.

But try it before deciding its shit

Are we talking about loud mouthed Yanks here who insist on calling the hallowed game ...king Soccer?

Their best sports are heading the shot and catching the javelin.:p

I can't believe that Celebrity Death Match wasn't one of the options.
I went for baseball because I do like a nice bit of organ music...

Don't you shout at me you Yankee derivative hooligan.

Okay, I'll keep it simple for you - I'll stick to pictures.

1. American Football
2. Baseball
3. Ice Hockey
4. Basketball

A few years ago hockey would've been my number one as I used to watch the Sheffield Steelers quite a lot, but it's just not that great to watch on tele so prefer Baseball and American Football.
