Like I said in the last thread, this is a fantastic final match-up. They're both fantastic and dominant athletes, and they would both be very worthy winners. But I have to put my vote toward the future of sports, not the past. Let's go, Mike Trout!

My vote goes for Michael Jordan, considering I have no idea who the **** Mike Trout is, except for the fact that the OP specifies that he's a baseball player.

And that's pretty damning, even for someone like me who doesn't give a damn about MLB, since that fact clearly didn't stop me from recognizing 1/3~1/2 of the other baseball players on the 'Eliminated' list yet this guy is still someone who I've never even heard of until I saw this topic.

I have several ideas, that I talked about a few rounds ago.

Literary characters, Fictional Couples, and Pirates/Thieves got the most interest but I would also like to do Villains, Witches/Wizards. I'll start a poll thread in a few days to see where the most interest lies.

Pirates/Thieves and Villains would probably be my favs.

What would you count at Witches/Wizards? There's obvious one's like Gandalf and Harry Potter, but where's the line?

Would you count Jedi/Sith as Wizards?

The force is pretty much space magic. The Jedi are like monks and stuff too. If it were me, I'd take them, but that's up to Kaja.

Personally, Thieves is my favorite of the bunch. Got a lot of nominations for that one.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking too.

But I also get if he doesn't want the nominations filled up with SW characters, cause that'd probably be a decent chunk of my noms.

No, but if there are enough people who thinks they should be included then I could possibly be persuaded to change my mind.

I'll accept anyone that can use magic and/or uses spells.

Yeah, it woulda been. It's a real shame that he went out so quickly and somehow Mike Trout made it to the finals.

I voted for some of them, though not many. I'm glad the board at least has MJ in the finals.

Don't know if you remember, but I complained that Dirk Nowitzki wasn't on the list early on.

Agreed. We usually have a few drop in to complain during the earlier rounds too. And they almost always never vote before disappearing back into the wilderness.
