    Depends on what you mean by "best", GH...I think that it's a sad story...now if you were to have posted most "significant" story of 2008, off the top of my head, I'd nominate the Tom Brady injury.

    As for the best story of this year, I vote "Yay, Rays!"

    And each must carve, ere life has flown,
    A stumbling block, or a stepping-stone"

    1) 2009 is next year
    2) Sabathia went to the non-existent MLB team called the Bucks, apparently
    3)It would be the first year without the Yankees in the playoffs since 1993-15 years
    4) I vote for the Rays

    Rays.

    They're also directly involved with the Yankees not making it to the postseason.

    I think Cliff Lee should be in this poll. But my vote is for CC Sabathia.

    I have no idea what will happen in 2009. As for 2008, I think the Devil Rays breaking the Yankees/Sox stranglehold is the most important.

    The Bucks are the Pirates. Bucks is short for bucaneers

    Re: Best sport stories for 09.

    Uh... what about Michael Phelps?

    Or the Olympic Men's Basketball Team?

    I'd vote Phelps.

    But I went with Favre here. That's arguably the best QB ever (me, I've got him behind a few guys, including Montana and Young, but he's the career leader in everything, and it's easy to argue he's the greatest) and an absolute legend, switching teams... after spending an entire career practically owning one of the NFL's most "storied" franchises. It's the biggest story, even though many people are already sick to death of it.

    CC switching sports and going to basketball would be the biggest story of the year, but it didn't happen.

    It *is* "Bucs," not "Bucks," if you're talking about the Pirates, but I believe Grasshopper was tired and/or drunk and confused the Milwaukee Brewers and Milwaukee Bucks.

    Most Significant Sport Stories of 08

    Since the other poll seemed to have failed miserably, I will create a new one. Yeah.
