Poll question: Gen. Custer's squad vs. the 2004 Yankees
Who got their asses handed to them in the most dramatic and humiliating fashion?

1. The British at Isandhlwana, or the Zulus at Rorke's Drift.

6. Agincourt was pretty much the bomb as far as massacres go.
The English had what, 6000 tops? and the French had a good 50,000.

2. Yankees, no question...
Custer and his men was outnumbered something like four or five to one, which is why they were encircled and slaughtered. The only way you could compare would be if it were a nine-man Yankee team facing off against a Red Sox squad 36-45 strong.

3. What about...
...the Spanish Armada in 1588?

4. Yankees got beat by a man with one leg. No question about it.
