Little League World Series, no I'm not kidding.

The heart of sports is the amateur ranks. Ten-year-olds racing BMX, high school wrestling, college hockey, it's all good. When I meet an NFL fan who has never seen a college football game, a long, drawn out, blow out of a game, sitting on cold bleachers with no beer, I feel they are missing something. You get bonus points if you don't even know the rules and you watch anyway, like horse shows or cricket.

Hey wow you got a lot of responses to this question.

Olympics

No doubt about it - world cup soccer, in person, preferable in some ancient city in Europe...with about 25 million complete strangers whose singing you cannot possibly understand.

Kentucky Derby

A University of Michigan ice hockey game. It is unlike anything I've ever been to (including a UofM football game that same weekend, several NCAA bowl games, and many pro games).

A Nascar race weekend...Awesome!

A US Open 5-setter night match that ends between the hours of 1 and 3am.

the beautiful game's ultimate championship the World Cup (soccer/football). This and the Olympics are truly the world's stage unlike baseball "world series" or the world championships the NBA and NFL give. The World Cup captivates nations while all other championships go unheralded after Sportscenter forgets about it

Yale-Harvard football game

The World Cup.

Watching me drunkenly play horseshoes during my 4th of July BBQ.

The World Cup.

The Masters

Either the World Cup or the Olympic Games (Winter or Summer).

1. World Series
2. Super Bowl
3. Any Gold Medal Event of Olympics

The Masters. The U.S. or British Open Championships.

Indy 500, International rugby test matches, track and field events at the summer Olympics. I have been lucky enough to view all of these in person. Nothing has eclipsed them since.

A PGA event. Unlike most major events, you can actually get tickets for a reasonable price. Sure, fans a treated like dirt while players are treated like royalty, but you can get up close and personal with superstars in the early rounds without buying $1,000.00 tix.

The Masters. Even if it's only to walk the course during a practice round. It's enlightening.

The Masters

Wimbledon belongs on this list, too.

The event a Washington fan should see is a Super Bowl that should somehow be between our beloved Skins and hated Cowboys. And the final outcome should be a total and complete domination of the Cowboys. Other than that a Rose Bowl and all that goes along with the college game.

Any college college football game. Each one is surrounded by excitment and festive atmoshere. They're inexpensive and easy to get to. It's the best party in town and they're usually on Saturdays, giving you all day Sunday to recuperate.

Bull Riding at Gillies.

World Cup- I'm torn though between in person or in the streets of a host country watching on a big screen as the host country plays. I've done both. I'd honestly put the experience of watching Italy play in WC with thousands of Italians in the streets on Florence as every bit as cool an experience as going to the Cup games here in the U.S. Both were awesome, and as big a Redskins fan as I am, nothing in American football comes close to the spirit of worldcup fanatics from across the world coming together.

Top 3:
Army-Navy football
Masters
NCAA Final Four

Big 5 basketball game at the Palestra in Philly - nothing else comes close to the energy in that ancient building at a Nova SJU game

The Masters - a tradition unlike any other.

In no particular order:
The Masters
Tenn vs. FL football (in Knoxville)
A Liverpool game at Anfield
For you race fans...Bristol Motor Speedway

Boca Juniors-River Plate superclasico in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Or a Game 7 of MLB, NHL, NBA championship.

Is it too late to change my answer? No? I want to watch soccer in Buenos Aires and I want to watch Nate play drunken horseshoes. That's my final answer.

Any day game the Cubs play at Wrigley Field.

The Grand Prix of Monaco, on a beautiful May afternoon.

Your child's games as a positive vocal supporter for all the players, coaches and refs.

WILT'S FOUL SHOOTING MADE HIS 100 --In his 100-point game, Wilt made 28 of 32 foul shots. It must be outrageously improbable that a guy who was 6,057 of 11,682 for career foul shots would make 28 of 32. That is one indicator of how improbable Wilt's feat was. But Wilt had everything going that day. His teammates reported that on game day he was incredibly lucky in a pre-game pinochle game and that he broke the record at a penny arcade shooting gallery they visited pre-game (there was one in the old Hershey Park - probably segregated at the time, but who was gonna argue with Wilt?). So Wilt just stayed on the roll when he walked onto the court.

"100" is a round, magical, iconic three digits. "99" wouldn't be the same. But if Wilt had missed one more foul shot, he'd have had only 99. In fact, if he'd shot fouls at his career rate of about 50%, he'd only have made 16 of 32 and ended up with 88 total points instead of 100.
