    I cannot agree with you more on the listing even though your number 3 should have occupied a befitting second place behind Phelps. Those of us in China during the olympics would even place both of them (Phelps and Bolt) as #1. Wait a minute, why do you refer to baseball finals as World series. When does a baseball contest among North American teams becomes a World series? I feel comfortable referring to Cricket as world sport than the American pasttime.
