I debate this in my mind constantly. I know, I know, really geeky right? But seriously, let me know what you think. Here's my top 5:
1. The rattling of a golf ball in the hole after you've sunk a 20-footer.
2. The pop of a 90 MPH fastball as it smack the raw-hide of a catcher's glove.
3. The crunch that emanates from the collective crash between a middle-linebacker and a wide-receiver as he streaks across the middle.
4. The swoosh of a basketball as it falls through the mesh net. (Does a chain-link net sound better?)
5. The roar of 43 NASCAR stock cars as they start their engines at the beginning of a race.
Do you agree? Think I'm way off? Am I missing others? Let me know what sounds in sports are akin to the strings in Beethoven’s Fifth.

B-ball falling through a chain link net on an outdoor court.
what about the "silent" swoosh of a ball goin through one of those outdoor hoops that neeeeever have nets
Ah yes, the no-sound of a silent swoosh. How poetic.
