Another Male vs Female Sports Comparison Question
Similar to my other question but I think more illustrative.
What is the age of the oldest man, who is better than the best woman, in the following endeavors. Golf Tennis Basketball Quarteback Linebaker Pitcher Baseball non pitcher (including batting ability) Bench Press (as percent of bodyweight) Mile Run Marathon Indy Race Car Driver Bowling Three Cushion Billiards My guesses would be 58, 53, 55, 62, 64, 57, 60, 72, 47, 48, 65, 65, 81

Re: Another Male vs Female Sports Comparison Question
This is really hard to comment on without knowing the first-hand effects of aging. The older posters will probably have a much better idea.

Golf [/ QUOTE ] Tough but I'll say Tom Watson at age 56 could beat Annika Sorenstam (36). There are a couple guys a couple years older who might be close as well. ___1___

Tennis [/ QUOTE ] If John McEnroe (47) spent a few months seriously preparing he could probably give Maria Sharapova (19) a good match as he still plays a bunch anyway. Not sure who would have an edge though. For arguments sake I'll say Andre Agassi/Todd Martin at 36 (or Pete Sampras at 35). ___1___

Basketball [/ QUOTE ] Too hard to say given size differnces. I would anyone really feel comfortable picking Lisa Leslie (34) playing 1-on-1 vs. Bill Russell (73). Bill still looks pretty good to me (just throwing it out there). You really have to specify position... ___1___
