Biggest Choke

--posted by Tony Garcia on 8/23/2005

Last night I was watching a program with a very intriguing question. I bring it to you.

What is the biggest "choke" in sports history...and why?

Wow In golf there must be a million. Els at the Masters twice, once against Tiger a few years ago when he drove a ball so far right on 13 they had to use Jerry Falwell to find it, nd last year when he got the lead at 10 and then parred in, letting Phil win his first major. Jean Van de Velde at Saint Andrews. Thomas Bjorn last year at the British. Everyone in the field when Ben Curtis won the British Open. Me with a 5 footer to break 90. The list is endless.

Until I watched this show on ESPN I would have thought the Frenchman's choke on the 72nd hole of the British Open a few years ago was the biggest. Then the show's number one came up and I thought...THAT IS THE ONE.

The Yankees last year were but 2 strikes away from sweeping the Red Sox and going to the World Series. They blew that game (Game 4) and lost Game 5. Then they lost Game 6 and Game 7 in New York. They became the first team EVER IN BASEBALL to blow a 3 game lead in a playoff series.

What makes it better is that it was the Yankees that blew it!
