what is massachusetts' state sport?

[sniffa]

yes, basketbaLL was voted the state sport, but i'm sure most masshoLes wouLd disagree... i'm sure most non-masshoLes wouLd disagree too.

so, what's your vote for the sport of masshoLes?

ps: masshoLes/former masshoLes' responses carry more weight.

1. The lottery.

Also doughnut eating and littering.

5. oooh, good choice

our state has the most scratchies per-capita; and they aLso amount to roughLy, 50% of the Littering with their Losing scratch tickets.

11. I'm amazed every time I go home.

The lottery and Dunkin' Donuts completely rule the land.

2. Masshole driving

Not necessarily drunk. I say that as a former offensive Rhode Islander driver. Only Massachusettes is worse than RI.

9. drunk driving is winning

and i didn't even need to post this in the massachusetts forum.

7. i know peopLe Like that

they're an embarrassment. once jacobs seLLs the bruins, then maybe they can have a chance to recLaim their former status here.

8. I'm thinking more in terms of the sport more of the guys grow up playing...

...and they've all been INSANE street and local league hockey players (the ones I know, anyway). Hopefully, the Bruins will get back to the past greatness one of these days.

4. Darts.

I mean, they have holsters with dart repair kits in them on their belts.

Seriously, they're like the fucking green berets of dart players. :shrug:

6. baseball - the Sox. easing out the Patriots

although soccer and lacrosse are getting more popular with high school students.

I loves me some Boston Canons (Pro- lacrosse)action myself- lotsa fun.

DEFINATELY BASEBALL tho because Pittsfield MA is the actual origin of the sport of baseball - so we gotta go with that. In 1792 historically documented earliest refernce to the game of baseball in the whole country.

so there Cooperstown!
