Favorite Moment1990 Cincinnati Reds sweeping the Oakland A's in the World Series.
Worst Moment1997. Game 7. Jose Mesa.
Favorite AthletesOf right now: Victor Martinez. Mostly 'cause he's awesome in about seventeen different ways. Of all-time: Roberto Clemente, who was far cooler than just sports.
Least Favorite AthletesAny professional athlete who is a batterer, rapist, or stalker. That number is a lot higher than I'm really comfortable with. I'm also not particularly fond of outspoken racists, sexists, or homophobes.
