1. Baseball, particularly the Cubs and Tigers.

Only 2-1/2 months until Opening Day!

[debm55]

3. Thank you very much. MlButterfly. I used to really love baseball as a kid. Collected cards. kept score cards and went

to Forbes Field to watch my Pirates. Now it is the Pens.

[MIButterfly]

9. I've heard a lot of good things about the Pirates' ballpark.

I would love to go there someday when they're playing the Cubs. I've gone to see the Cubs in several different cities. It's a great way to see the city and cheer on my favorite team.

I think I'll add that to my bucket list.

[debm55]

11. Do it. MlButterfly. The sad thing is that they tore down Forbes Field and built the circular stadium. Got to see Roberto

play in both. Then they built a stadium that is almost exactly like Forbes Field. I like the new stadium. Right next to the Ohio River and the inside is beautiful. Too bad we don't have a team to go with it.

[House of Roberts]

2. College football and basketball.

NFL football when I'm not busy doing something else.

[debm55]

4. Thank you very much. House of Roberts. Enjoy college football better then NFL. My team was PSU Nittany Lions.

[Harker]

5. Hockey. Black Hawks... or Blackhawks as the young folk call them.

I lived in Colorado from '68 until a few years ago, and I got to see Wayne Gretzky score a goal against the Colorado Rockies, then the Avs several times.

[debm55]

7. That's great. Thank you Harker for sharing with us.

[Harker]

10. Always a pleasure!

We lived in New Castle, PA for a couple years, but never got to see the Penguins. We did visit the aviary, though, and Crosby the penguin took an obvious liking to me.

[debm55]

12. HAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA. I loved the aviary. Would take my classes there for a fieldtrip.

[Harker]

16. Fun place!

[rsdsharp]

6. Baseball, with football a close second

I never understood hockey. Red line, blue line, white line, stop. What the hell is icing? The whole damn game is icing. Plus, I’ve never seen a goal. You go to the game, buy a beer, go to your seat, get cold, have to pee, go to the john, somebody scores, rinse and repeat.

[debm55]

8. HAHAHAHAHHAHA. you should have lived in Pittsburgh during Mario's days of playing. He always scored, a goal. During the

Stanley Cup Days.

[rsdsharp]

19. And I'd have been in the john when it happened!

[debm55]

42. hahaha

[rurallib]

13. Women's college basketball, women's pro basketball and then

men's college basketball.

I have pretty much given up on pro sports and most men's sports. The money just ruins it.
Another couple of years and I may not be watching any sports.

I wonder if those betting sites have a line on that happening.

[debm55]

43. Thank you very much rurallib. I played girl's Basketball in HS.still go out try to shoot some baskets

[Cirsium]

14. Um, let me think for a minute...

A few names come to mind. Sid Abel, Alex Delvecchio, Red Kelley, Gordie Howe, Terry Sawchuk, Ted Lindsay, Reed Larson, Mickey Redmond, Nicklas Lidström, Steve Yzerman, Igor Larionov, Sergei Fedorov, Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, Dylan Larkin...

[debm55]

15. I remember Steve Yzerman. You like hockey.

[LoisB]

17. Tennis.

[debm55]

50. Thank you very much , LoisB. I have never played, but I like watching on television.

[Rastapopoulos]

18. Baseball, by far

When I was a kid, we lived next to the local baseball field (Babe Ruth, American Legion). I would often stay for both games of a doubleheader. Dad would give me a dollar and that was enough for a hot dog, popcorn, and a Coke.

[debm55]

49. Rastapopulosl that is the way to go for entertainment.

[CanonRay]

20. Baseball

but football is a close 2nd.

[debm55]

48. Thank you very much, CanonRay. Two great sports.

[Upthevibe]

21. debm55........

Great post.......Thank you!

Mine is tied between football and baseball. I also enjoy basketball.

One of the highlights of 2025 for me was The Dodgers winning the World Series. I still watch the World Series highlights when I want to feel joy.

[debm55]

23. Thank you very much, Upthevibe. And for your selections of sports.

[LogDog75]

22. Bowling

Bowling is a sport that people can do from ages 5 to 100. It's not an overly physical activity but it's one that requires coordination and the ability to make adjustments as the game goes on. I bowl in two leagues and sub in two other leagues and I'm 75. One league is a fun league where there is competition but everyone has a good time talking with each other and just having fun. The other league is a competitive league of bowlers who are above average. Some of the best bowlers in the county bowl in this league.

[debm55]

47. Thank you very much, LogDog75. You sound very energetic. Great.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Golf, Football, Baseball

As a TV viewer, that's the order.
I'm a nut about baseball history though which is why I have the first 4 innings of Ken Burns' Baseball on DVR!
Not as interested in the history of the others.
I understand the appeal of hockey but I won't watch the NHL until they ban fighting.
The best hockey to watch is the Olympics. Mostly the same players, but fighting is banned & there is less rough stuff.
Why the NHL doesn't see that is a mystery to me.
But, they still cater to a bunch of Canadian cavemen who believe there's something interesting about guys on skates throwing off balance haymakers.

[debm55]

30. I agree. Professor GAC.They still have their enforcers that "protect" the top scorers on the team. As a young girl I

: loved base at Forbes Field. Saw the great Roberto Clemente Maz, Blass and others play.I would watch (if played on the road) or listen to Bob Prince and Nellie King and my Pirates at home. It you caught the wind write you could catch the Pirates in Altoona.and keep play by play stats on each player Also had the cards with a slate of Bazooka bubble (no individual ones,) You bought the pack. I : missed the Ken Burns doc. but the Homestead Grays played not far from my house when I lived in Duquesne, PA Sorry I was long.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. My Dad's Favorite Non-Cub Was Clemente

When I was a kid, we'd go to 2 or 3 games at Wrigley each summer.
One of those games had to be against the Pirates because he wanted to see Roberto play.
For a couple years, he wanted to see the Reds because of Rose but I couldn't stand that guy, (even as a 10 or 11 year old) so I talked him out of it.
But, I was always excited to go to a Cubs/Pirates game.

[MichMan]

25. Hockey for me too

NHL and College. Hockey players come across as more grounded and genuine than the other sports.

Huge baseball fan as a child; haven't watched a game for 20 years.

Football is OK, but they ruined College Football with the Transfer Portal and the unregulated NIL payments. Only watched one NFL game all season.

You would have to pay me to watch the NBA.

[debm55]

31. Thank you Mich Man , Is your team the Red Wings?

[MichMan]

38. Of course, but also my Alma Mater, Michigan State

Big Spartan Hockey fan. After a decade of being mediocre, they've been one of the top teams the last three years.

[debm55]

44. Do you remember the two back to back Stanley Cups Finals for the Red Wings and the Pens. Pens lost it in Pittsburgh and

and won it in Detroit. Redwings, won it in Pittsburgh and lost it in Detroit. Naturally, we went to the game in Pittsburgh.

[peachpit24]

26. Sport

Tennis

[debm55]

45. Thank you very much, peachpit24. I love to watch it, but never played.

[underpants]

27. Hockey looks like team putting.

I love all sports
Soccer
Football
Basketball

[debm55]

46. Thank you underpants. for your great selections.

[FadedMullet]

28. Baseball. It can be, and often is a beautiful game, situational that can change with every pitch.

[Walleye]

29. Baseball, it's quieter. No bells or buzzers

[johnp3907]

32. Hockey.

Watching the Penguins right now!
🐧

[debm55]

35. I am from the golden age of Mario and Jags ( I'm dying here in Pittsburgh.) the matching mullets and the Igloo. Thanks

for your post, johns3907, Now get back to the game.

[displacedvermoter]

33. Baseball

Although I confess not as much as before.

[debm55]

36. Thank you very much, displacedvermoter. Especially if you are from Pittsburgh.like me.

[Borogove]

37. I played football and ran track in high school. Loved both sports then, still love them today.

I’ve also grown to really appreciate baseball and my wife and I are big Phillies fans. Can’t wait for spring training to start.

[debm55]

40. Thank you very much, Borogove for your selections. And Mrs. Borogove. too

[WmChris]

39. Late model dirt stockcar racing

[debm55]

41. Thank you very much, WmChris for your unique selection.

[kerouac2]

51. Lacrosse

[Tasmanian Devil]

52. Cricket!

More action than baseball, no CTE brain damage (football), minimal injuries, amazing athletic abilities by the players.

We've been enjoying watching mens & womens games from New Zealand on ESPN+ (Hulu),

It helps that the games are played during the day in New Zealand which gives us a chance to watch it here (US) while relaxing after a busy day.

The "T20" matches are completed in a modest amount of time. I wouldn't recommend "Test" matches, as they go on for days and days ...

And it's fun trying to figure out what everyone is saying .. the New Zealand accent is ... different!

[Morbius]

53. I like baseball. I love hockey.

But NFL football rules.

Bear down!
