Rick Reilly posts the top ten sport­ing events that peo­ple should see in per­son. I’ve seen the Boston Red Sox play at Fen­way Park (though not against the New York Yan­kees) dur­ing the nine years that I lived in Boston, and I went to Wim­ble­don when I lived in Lon­don in 2001. But I have yet to see the rest.

Still, I am skep­ti­cal of some of his choices. Golf, at least to me, is bor­ing enough on tele­vi­sion. Is it any bet­ter live? And how can Reilly not include the World Cup? Inter­na­tional soc­cer is essen­tially war­fare by other means.
