Many but my favourite to watch on TV is Moto GP, and the guy in this pic is who I have been following for many years, 9 time World Champion Valentino Rossi, and before him 5 time 500cc World Champion Aussie Mick Doohan and before him 1 time 500cc World Champion Wayne Gardiner.

I have been to the Australian Moto GP a few times also, I also follow F1.

Baseball is my main passion. I'm a Toronto Blue Jays fan (been one as long as I can remember - early 1980's). Aside from being a Blue Jays fan, I'm a huge fan of baseball history (I am pretty knowledgeable about baseball history). I've read a lot of books and videos (most prominently the Ken Burns documentary and the HBO produced "When it was a Game").

I've said to my buddy that in a previous life, I probably was a New York Giants (baseball) fan. My favorite book is the Old Ball Game by Frank Deford, with the main subjects being legendary manager John McGraw and the first baseball star of the 20th century, Christy Mathewson. I also have a Mel Ott baseball jersey (another legendary NY Giant who played 22 seasons with them from 1926-1947). I guess you could say I probably like the Giants the most aside from the Blue Jays.

I like watching the Golf and Tennis majors as well, and the NFL and CFL. I used to like hockey a lot more in my younger years, but I find the NHL pretty unwatchable now. I also enjoy the NBA (Raptors fan). I'll try and watch the NBA finals where I can (I did miss last night's game though).

I watch other sports as well, though not as much these days.

I still enjoy playing football with friends the most. Tennis is also good fun.

My earliest footballing memories were the 1998 World Cup and Manchester United winning the treble in '99.

My favorite sports are football and basketball and I prefer watching college over the pros. It's just so much more exciting to watch especially with the atmosphere at a game with all the fans going crazy for their schools. The players aren't as good, but I'd rather watch good players who hustle than great players who don't play at 100% because they've lost that passion to play or just want the $$$$.
