In sports, there have been a number of dynamic duos. Arnie and Jack, Gretzky and Messier, Jordan and Pippin, Montana and Rice, Ruth and Gehrig.  Who would you say is number one?

My vote go to Ruth and Gehrig as number one, but my favorite was Jack and Arnie.

Drivers: Bag 1 - TM R11 (10.5°); Bag 2 - Ping G5 (9°),
Fairway woods: #1 - TM RBZ Tour (14.5°) & TM System 2 Raylor (17°); #2 - TM Burner (15°) & TM V-Steel (18°)
Hybrid: #1 - TM Rocketballz (19°); #2 - Ping G5 (19°)
Irons: #1 - Ping i3+; #2 - Hogan Edge  (both 4-pw, +1" shaft)
Wedges: #1 - Ping i3+ U wedge (52°) & Ping Eye 2+ BeCu (60°); #2 - Ping ISI Sand BeCu (52°) & Cleveland CG11 lob (60°)
Putters: Ping B60i & Anser 2, Odyssey White Steel 2-Ball & White Hot XG #9, Lamkim Jumbp grips
Golf Balls: Titleist Pro V1, Bridgestone B330, Callaway SR1, Slazenger Grips: Lamkin Crossline
Golf Shoes: Footjoy & Adidas; Golf Glove: Footjoy StaSof®; Golf Bag: Ping Hoofer
I love this game! :-D

Misty May and Treanor, have one gold medal in the past three summer Olympics.

I wouldn't call Jack and Arnie a duo because they competed against each other. to me a duo are those who play together.

Probably the best in football is Montana and Jerry Rice, no doubt there. Though Steve young and Rice comes in a close second i think. Though Michael Irving and Troy Aikman is a good one to, throw in Emmit Smith.

Basketball is tough to say, i would go Scottie and Jordan, i'm not a big basketball fan

Baseball, Ruth and Gehrig is a pretty staunch duo. Though if your looking at pitching, i could probably go with the early 90's braves teams, your looking at Greg Maddox, probably the best technical pitcher ever. Tom Glavine, if you want to add in John Smoltz as well.

Baseball you get it a lot--the Bash Brothers (McGwire/Canseco), M&Ms; (Mantle & Maris).

In the golfing world you've got to go Ryder Cup.  Tiger/Stricker, Phil/Keegan.  Or mabye Tiger/Stevie Williams?

As a moderate basketball fan, I say Pippen and Jordan were the best that ever played looking at completed careers, but I would say that if Lebron and Wade manage to stay together for any length of time, they might provide competition.

I don't follow Tennis too much, but what about the Williams sisters in doubles?

Also, A-rod isn't very popular right now, but the 2009 Yankees are considered one of the best infields EVER, so Jeter and A-Rod is another one in baseball, for both hitting / fielding.

How about Omar Vizquel/Roberto Alomar? THAT could be the best middle infield of all-time.

After doing research, looks like others agree...

" No doubt that if these two would have played together longer than three years they would have been the best double play combination of all time.

Alomar played 17 seasons with seven different teams.

Over the 11 seasons from 1991 to 2001 only two second basemen would win a Gold Glove in the American League, and Alomar has 10 of them.

In 2010 Vizquel completed his 22nd season with five different teams.

From 1993 to 2001 he would win nine straight Gold Gloves at shortstop—the first while with the Mariners, and the other eight with Cleveland. This is second only to Ozzie Smith's 13 Gold Gloves.

In 2005 Vizquel would make the move to the National League, signing as a free agent with the San Francisco Giants and promptly pick up another two Gold Gloves, giving him 11 for his career.

From 1999 to 2001 Alomar and Vizquel would cover the middle infield for the Indians and each season win the Gold Glove.

Their combined fielding percentage of 0.988 is the highest in this ranking.

They averaged only 17 combined errors a season—also tops in this ranking. "

i forgot about them - The 09 Yankee's stuck out because of the two big names, and they won the championship that year.

Fox sports considers Larry Csnoka and Jim Kiick from the 72 dolphins to be the best.

I don't know why, but when you said Tinker to Evers to Chance, it made me think of Calico Joe by John Grisham.  A good, but not great read if you like stories involving baseball that really have little to do with baseball.

There's a great book from a couple years ago that deals with the 1908 baseball season, focusing strongly on the Cubs (it was the most recent World Series win, of course) and their trio of Tinker, Evans, and Chance. "Crazy 08," by Cait Murphy.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
