Today is only the second time in history that all four major sports in the respective professional leagues (MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA) are being played on the same day.

I have no idea of when the other time was, but I would guess during the 2001 World Series, which was pushed back because of the 9-11 Terrorist Attacks.

Yeah, baseball should have been over two weeks ago. Night games in NYC in November - starting after 8pm - great.

I thinking about a 4 sport parlay to commemorate the occasion




PS: can somebody help me with a pucks game? thanks

I was just thinking the same thing.

Have action already in on MLB.
Next NFL and NHL, then trail someone on NBA.

Anyone have Picture-in-Picture-in-Picture-in-Picture to watch all four sports at once?
