  Very cool game. I don't agree with some of those included, but fun anyway.

  Very cool. I only got 47. I think 70 is a pretty solid score, I will be impressed if anyone beats it without taking a refresher course.

  I got 73 including all of the horses. How the heck is Tiger Woods not on the list or was he and I just typed it wrong twice?

  I got 73 and missed 4 REALLY easy ones that just didn't come to mind. Woods isn't on the list because it's from 1900-1999. Woods has 2 majors when the list came out.

  The list was compiled around 1997ish, so Woods wouldn't be on it.

  Ahh, this list came out in 1997 or so. Now it makes sense. Whew, for a second there I thought I was really dumb. Okay, I thought about it another second and came to the conclusion that I am really dumb. Thank you. Sorry this happened to you. PSA 6.

  Got 71 - missed a couple easy ones like Dimaggio that just didn't come to mind. Several that I would have never thought would be on there. But, since it is an older list, I can possibly see why they made it.

  Mike, the list went Jordan 1, Ali 2 and Ruth 3 (I may have Ali and Ruth flipped).
