    You enjoy winning a ring young and able to get "rewards" (women).

    When you get to Cooperstown you're probably old or dead.

    Cooperstown of course. You should have made this poll public to show the people who have no concept of reality.

    Baseball? Isn't that the game when old people change their Depends between pitches while reminiscing about Joltin' Joe?

    Personally, I'd rather win a hoops title. Even if you're a scrub, you're likely on the best team you've ever been on and playing as part of a really good team is better than standing in the outfield and occasionally hitting the right cutoff man.

    I nearly bursted out into laughing when seeing that 20+ people voted for the championship. It's a sport where you have 15 guys on your roster and some of them don't even play. Morisson and Yue got rings, same with Antoine Walker and other scrubs.
    Cooperstown is for the legends that put up a great individual career and legendary performances over a long time. Anyone that voted for NBA title needs to get his head checked.

    It should also be mentioned that for basically anyone born after 1970, if you're a baseball hall of famer you very likely made upwards of $100MM in your career.

    When I hear "hall of famer" I am impressed.

    When I hear "world champion" I am interested.

    HOF > Title.

    People have made the same argument about the Pro Football Hall of Fame choose. Though, I must agree the odds give players less of chance to get into the Hall of Fame.

    Example, how does Curtis Martin and Cortez Kennedy get in over Bill Parcells? Both players were very good, but I never saw either one as being great. Not saying they are Hall of Fame worthy, but I would think a very successful coach would have more weight than being a very good skill player.
