The Chance to Compete

2010 June 21

It is a somewhat common thing to discuss the one sporting event you would want to attend in person.

Far less often do we discuss the one sporting event we would prefer to compete in.

Immediately I think of competing in world-wide events such as the Olympics or the World Cup. But I’d definitely prefer to play in the US Open (the golf version, not tennis). It is often referred to as the toughest test in golf. The Masters is probably the most famous golf tournament but the chance to compete for my nation’s championship in my favorite sport is too appealing to pass up.

What about you…

Which sporting event would you prefer to compete in if you could?

For me, it’d have to be either the Masters or World Cup.

for me it’s a toss up between Curling and figure skating.

Though I’m not a huge hockey fan, I’d love to compete for the Stanley Cup. There’s so much tradition like the growing of beards throughout post-season play, and the day with Sir Stanley, just really cool.

You know me…baseball.

Think about the opportunity guys have to hit walk off game winning home runs – in the World Series.

Bill Mazerowski, Carlton Fisk, Kirk Gibson, Kirby Puckett, Joe Carter, Derek Jeter. Regardless of anything else they do, they’ll always be remembered for those walk off home runs they hit.

That is what makes baseball so special. It is a sport that is no constrained by time. The game is not over until the last man is out.
