Super Bowl or World Series? you choose

[throttleplate]

Would you like to see your favorite NFL football team win the super bowl or rather see your favorite baseball team win the World Series?  I as a life long Greenbay Packer fan from the Bart Starr days watching them on tv and for baseball a life long Baltimore Orioles fan from the days of Brooks Robinson watching them on saturday afternoon baseball, I would have to choose to see the Orioles win the world series.

I was stationed in Adak Alaska in 1983 listening to the world series between them and the Phillies on the Armed Forces radio network. It has been so long since 1983, 40 years that i wonder if i will ever see them even participate in another series.

Crud, that's tough choice, but I'd have to say the Superbowl.

 

But only if the halftime show is Kenny Chesney. 

 

[Mobasser]

I'll say the Super Bowl.

[Jig Man]

Super bowl for sure as I don’t follow baseball.

[Mike L]

Super Bowl!

Baseball doesn’t even come to mind anymore. 
 

The Cubs won in my lifetime, that’s good enough for me

I didn’t realize they still played the World Series.  ?

[FryDog62]

I took a knee on the NFL years ago and you couldn’t pay me to watch a game now.  Played baseball through junior college and still enjoy the game a lot. Put me down for a World Series win ?

[MN Fisher]

Only 'Pro-Sports' I'm interested in is the FIFA World Cup (Woman's USA is 1-0-1 so far)

 

Rest of it can just go away....so to answer the original question

 

Neither

Cubs/bengals fan here. Before 2016 I would have said World Series but now it’s Super Bowl. Got close two years ago 

[Steveo-1969]

If baseball ceased to exist my life wouldn’t change a bit. SUPERBOWL!!!!

 

?⬇️ and FTP!!!

[gim]

100% super bowl.  0-4 all time here.

[Captain Phil]

Definitely Super Bowl.  I don't watch baseball.  It's so slow and boring.  The only game I know of where it's good if nothing happens. 

[Dwight Hottle]

Well since the Cleveland Indians lost their rightful name & their b-lls  & became the Guardians I lost my interest in baseball. So I'll vote for the Super Bowl.  

[TnRiver46]

I’m seeking higher ground if the browns are in the Super Bowl 

[NavyToad]

The Ravens have won 2 Super Bowls since the Orioles last won a World Series. I’d take the O’s in the World Series hands down. Redemption for long suffering Orioles fans. 
Now if the Colts were still in Baltimore……..

No i was not in aviation, I was in the Navy Seabees, Seabees are the engineering corp of the Navy, I was an EO which is a heavy equipment operator running bulldozers, cranes... building airstrips, clearing ground to put up anything needed for other services to come and use.

Seabees provide a wide range of construction in support of operating forces, including roads, bridges, bunkers, airfields and logistics bases; provides responsive support disaster recovery operations; performs civic action projects to improve relations with other nations; and provides anti-terrorism and force protection for personnel and construction projects.

 Our motto is “We Build, We Fight.”

At the start of WW2 my Dad joined the Army’s counterpart. 

At that time I believe they were called Combat Engineers, at least that’s what they called themselves. 
 

He never talked about it much other than to say he did see “a little combat” in the Aleutians and So. Pacific

Neither ?

 

Once they turn Pro I quit watching 

[DitchPanda]

Haven watched either in years. Growing up I was all baseball all the time. As an adult I got way more into football. Don't really care about either now.

[GreenPig]

Neither. Don't watch any pro ball sports.

in the Aleutians

 

I was stationed for a year in the Aleutians on the island of Adak Alaska, lots of WWII history on Adak. Maybe i walked some of the same places he did as i was always on my off days down by the old docks, piers and barracks which were no longer being used but full of abandoned history.

I called my brother and asked if he remembered where Dad said he was stationed. He remembered him saying something about Adak and Kiska but nothing else. 
This was in ‘42
 

I know he was there to build runways before being moved to the Mariana Islands  where they built more for the first arrival of B 29’s.

I remember him saying the islands weren’t secured when they arrived. 
 

Thanks for jogging our memories!

Gotta admit, only time I watch TV is when a ball game is on, avid sports fan.

 

Years ago I would have said baseball " big Red machine".

Wife's sister lived in Cincinnati and every time we would visit I'd go to a Reds game.

Actually caught a Hal Morris HR sitting in center field.

I watch both but would rather see the Superbowl...... always turn off the halftime show and back on in the 3rd. ?

My round ball team has won a few Larry O’Brien’s recently with potential to win another or two in the next few years.

My baseball team has been run into the ground by the ownership with the blessing of the Commissioner’s Office and leaving for Las Vegas soon.

So I gotta say Super Bowl and another Lombardi Trophy!
