Insanity in ESPN.com poll
http://www.espn.com


Which feat is most difficult to accomplish?

Win triple crown in baseball?
52%

Win triple crown in horse racing?
15%

Win grand slam in golf?
27%

Win grand slam in tennis?
5%


This is completely asinine. The only one of these that has NEVER HAPPENED is the grand slam in golf! It's not even a competition!!

1. LOL Not to mention the fact
that there's no such thing as a triple crown in baseball. That must be VERY hard.

4. Bobby won British Open, British Amateur, US Open, US Am in 1930.
Incredible feat for his time. Tiger winning British and US Opens, PGA Championship and Masters, but not in the same season, is an equal or greater accomplishment considering the intense level of competition world wide now.

7. Thats a very good point
My first response was the baseball triple crown but something that has only been done about 1 and a half times is obviously difficult.

BTW, only one player has ever won baseballs triple crown and also led the league in stolen bases...
