"If you could live in any decade to watch sports, which decade would you have liked to grow up during?"
I grew up in the 1970s and it was an AMAZING era to grow up in especially in Pittsburgh where we saw the Pirates win two World Series and the Steelers four Super Bowls. As a big boxing fan, I think the 70s represents the best era of boxing in history. Even Pro Wrestling was fun to watch because it didn't have all the soap opera and showy bullshit that plagues that entertainment today. We had the rise of Bruno Sammartino in the 'Burgh (and I have a very funny story about his son and also pro wrestler David), the Penguins were a pretty good team, and the Pitt Panthers celebrated a national title in 1996. They were led by Matt Cavanaugh and hall of famer Tony Dorsett. The year before I watched as Dorsett ran through the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame for 303 yards rushing.
If I had to choose another decade it probably would have been the 20s or 30s so I could have seen some of the old time great baseball and football players live.
