OK - I'm trying an ambitious poll - Top 10 Events All Time

Braves winning the World Series in 1957


There isn't much auto racing on any lists so far. So how about these:

Dale Earnhardt winning the Daytona 500
Dale Earnhardt dying on the final lap of the Dayonta 500 in 2001
Alan Kulwicki winning the 1992 Winston Cup title
Michael Schumacher winning his seventh F1 title
Any title or significant race won by Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt, Richard Petty and Rick Mears
The F1 race that included the accident which took the life of Aryton Senna
IRL and CART splitting in 1995 (idiots)
The German CART race where Alex Zanardi crashed and was miraculously saved
The Indianapolis Grand Prix where the tires stunk and hardly any drivers competed

 

Appalachian State over Michigan at the Big House.

 

JDV's three national powerlifting championships

 

Poin ... stellar ...

Where's hockey?
Like ...

The 1972 Summit Series
Bobby Orr's flying goal
The Calgary Flames becoming the only team in history to win the Cup on Forum ice
Bobby Baun's game-winner (yeah, yeah, JR ... Leafs history ... some of it is important)
The 1987 Canada Cup

There's more ... dammit ... this cold is fogging my brain.

 

Flasher, sweetie,

See above, "Miracle on Manchester"

 

The most dominant athletic performance in the history of the planet.

 

Xan, doll ... I've been a Flames fan since I was 4. I've blocked out most Oilers accomplishments.

 

In no particular order

Steelers winning Super Bowl IX
The Mean Joe Green Coke commercial
Steelers winning Super Bowl X
Franco Harris revolutionizing the game by running out of bounds
Steelers winning Super Bowl XIII
Terry Bradshaw's first divorce
Steelers winning Super Bowl XIV
Lynn Swann running for public office
Steelers winning Super Bowl XV
The birth of Ben Roethlisberger

 

Sorry to hear that, Flash.

In this case, this should be among your top 3, watching the Oilers in full meltdown.

 

Keep them coming. How did I not type Frazier? You can tell I was being pulled away a few times when I typed that up.

I will redo the thread on Monday with the additions and everyone can keep adding.

Thanks to everyone for the many events I forgot or just plain didn't know about. NASCAR and soccer, I'm looking in your direction.

 

Yeah, and the Flames did finish better that season ...

 

You forgot Bettis winning Super Bowl XL in his hometown. Did you know he's from Detroit?
