What sport do you wish you could dominate? (soccer, pro, baseball)

[ProgShred]

I would be a multiple Cy Young winning pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. I would also be a Triple Crown winning hitter. I would play short stop on days that I'm not pitching and DH on the days that I am.

Can you have a pitcher as a DH, on the same day they are pitching? I feel like that would be breaking a rule, but I don't know. Interesting thought tho...

Curling<<<<Dont ask, I just think it is cool.....
NASCAR<<<Seems like a pretty good deal...
Snowboarding<<What a ride that would be.
Baseball<<< 162 games, but love playing so until it feels like a job not a game it would be good.

Yes, a pitcher can bat in the American League.

On the same day he is pitching?

I've never been that into sports but being a Formula One driver sounds exiting. Mastering all that power must be very satisfying.

Use any motivation you see, money, personal taste, respect of the public or whatever you can fathom. Would you be a MLB pitcher? A tennis star? A feared middle linebacker? Let your imagination run wild.

For me, I would love to be a player in the NFL, but I think due to the health risks, the shady contracts players get and the short life span of a player, I would comfortably throw that out.

I would love to be a sick ATP player, but I would hate peaking at 19-23, I feel like those guys are too young to enjoy the ride.

My true passion is baseball, but that is a crazy grind. 162 game season, while not exactly a horrible job, when compared to my eventual winner, seems a bit insane. However, baseball would finish a close second, and I would love to patrol center field for an MLB team.

I think the winner for me, would be a PGA golfer. I wouldn't even have to be great. Just win a few tourneys here and there and make the cut much more often than I miss it. You can travel the world, and play a pretty relaxed game (although I am sure at that level it is very intense). If I felt like taking a month off I do it. I could peak in my 30s and be competitive into my 40s, and maybe luck my way into a good finish into my 50s.

So my top four would be NFL-->ATP-->MLB-->PGA in that order.

How bout you guys?

I'd say Golf would have to be up there...I could play until I am in my 60s and still make $$$.

Basketball, Football, Baseball, Hockey and Boxing would all be awesome, but I'd have to retire earlier and they are much more physically taxing.

But it would be pretty sweet to be the NBA MVP...
