We are just past that wonderful yet brief point in the year when professional Baseball, Football, and Basketball are all going on at the same time. The World Series wrapped up with Texas besting Arizona 4-1, and the NBA season is just getting started. We're also about halfway through the NFL season. (Go fins!) With this in mind, I figured it would be a good time to list my top ten favorite sports!

This list is a combination of sports I like to participate in mixed with sports I enjoy watching, from the Olympics to backyard play. My favorite event to watch is easily the X-Games. Action sports are just super cool and impressive to me; I like the thrill! Organized sports I've played in my life include, in chronological order: baseball, disc golf, basketball, track, skateboarding, tennis, and indoor soccer. I'm not great at any of them, but I sure had fun!

I begged and pleaded to be allowed to sign up for football, but never was. I can understand why and I'm past being bitter about it, though it took some time. I ended up joining the marching band instead, and in retrospect it was for the best for me. I gained friends, practiced discipline, stayed active, and kept out of trouble. Whatever you consider Marching Band to be, that's what sports are really all about for most kids and adults alike. My two cents: if bowling is a sport then marching band certainly is! 

Here's the list:

10. Hockey

9. Volleyball

8. Tennis

7. Baseball

6. BMX

5. Snowboarding

4. Basketball

3. Football

2. Disc Golf

1. Skateboarding

Well, what do you think? How does my list compare to your top ten sports? Is your favorite sport to watch different than your favorite to play? 

If you're into American Football, WQMX alongside Duma Meats Hartville Market has something really cool going on right now. We're sending a lucky listener up to Clevelend for a game with the WQMX Tailgate! Get all the info on that here and thanks for reading!
