Best Decades for Sports
Where do you begin? How about this list: Dale Earnhardt sr. dominating NASCAR, and Richard Petty won his 200th race WITH Ronald Reagan. The Edmonton Oilers dominate the NHL and then they traded their best player Wayne Gretzky. Baseball had champions and Ozzie Smith and Mike Schmidt and Jack Morris and Ryne Sandberg. NBA saw The Los Angeles Lakers at their very best. The NFL saw The San Francisco 49ers and the Catch. Finally Boxing saw a 1987 epic match with Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard and the SUPERFIGHT!

The Golden Age of Sports: Ernie Nevers and Red Grange in football, Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones in golf, the 2 epic Gene Tunney-Jack Dempsey bouts, Bill Tilden in Tennis, The New York Rangers and Lester Patrick in Hockey, Man o' War in Horse Racing and Baseball had Rogers Hornsby, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Lou Gehrig. BUT no man towers this decade in sports bigger than New York Yankees' own Babe Ruth.
Its Joeysworld
It was a trying decade for the World, but this decade produced lots of heroes the world over like Jesse Owens, boxing immortal Joe Louis who won the heavyweight title and then beat Max Schmeling for America. The NFL had Sammy Baugh and Cliff Battles and Don Hutson and Mel Hein, while baseball had still Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, but that decade also brought new kids like Joe DiMaggio, Bob Feller and that kid named Ted Williams while Hank Luisetti scored well in basketball.
