Another example of the liberal use of "moment"

Remember when Major League Baseball unveiled its Top 10 moments in baseball history, and like four of them weren't actually moments?  

-Joe DiMaggio hits in 56 straight games

-Ted Williams is last man to post .400 average

-Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa surpass Roger Maris' single-season home-run record (that might not make the list next time, BTW)

-Cal Ripken breaks Lou Gehrig's consecutive games streak

Now, the good people at the Los Angeles Times are asking fans,  "What is your favorite Los Angeles Dodgers moment?"  Some choices...

-Dodgers sweep Yankees in 1963 World Series

-Don Drysdale's six consecutive shutouts

-Fernando mania arrives in 1981 

-Orel Hershiser's scoreless innings streak  

Here at MHR, we've decided to start our own "greatest moments in ______________ history" poll.  So here we go:

What is your favorite moment in the history of Earth?

-The transition from the Paleolithic to the Mesolithic Period

-The gradual human migration from Africa to Asia

-The building of the Egyptian pyramids

-The entire existence and influence of the Roman Empire

-The Industrial Revolution

-The 20th Century

-The NL West pennant race of 1993

-Any video of a guy getting hit in the nuts  

Quite frankly, I'm a fan of the Romans, but 'football in the groin' had a football in the groin.
