Today is the day the day that the Boston Bruins revealed a statue of Bobby Orr on the anniversary of his famous leap. I was just arguing with my roommates and I argue that this is the most famous picture in the history of sports.

2) Cricket: 2-3 billion fans (India, UK, Pakistan, Asia, Australia, etc.)
3) Field hockey: 2-2.2 billion fans (Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia)
4) Tennis: Around 1 billion fans (Europe, Americas, Asia)
5) Volleyball: Around 900 million fans (Asia, Europe, Americas, Australia)
6) Table tennis: Around 900 million fans (Asia, Europe, Africa, Americas)
7) Baseball: Around 500 million fans (US, Japan, Cuba, Dominican Republic)
8) Golf: Around 400 million fans (US, Canada, Europe)
9) Gridiron (American football): 390-410 million fans (US mainly)

I'm sorry to break the news to you, but there's almost twice as many people following Table tennis than Baseball...
