Vote for the Greatest Sports Moments of 2005
The Los Angeles Sports Council asked fans to help select the greatest moments in sports for 2005 in the Los Angeles/Orange County area. Through balloting on this web site votes were cast in 16 different award categories.
The nominated moments were provided by each specific team, university or association, and were limited to three to five moments each. Nominations in each category are listed in chronological order. Winners were provided with awards specially created by Tiffany & Co. for the occasion.
Voting took place from November 15 - December 5.
Winners were revealed on Sunday, December 11 during a special, live 90-minute televised awards presentation, including the overall "Greatest Moment of the Year." The star-studded show, hosted by Hall of Fame announcer and "Voice of the Kings," Bob Miller, took place at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel in Century City.
A blue-ribbon media panel ranked the overall top 10 moments of the year and selected the Sportsman, Sportswoman and Sports Executive of the year.
Due to the cancellation of the 2004-05 NHL season, the Kings and Ducks were not asked to submit nominations but also were recognized during the awards show.
The concept of a moment is loosely defined. It can be a specific instant in time (such as a winning goal, hit or shot), an individual or team milestone, an upset victory, a remarkable game, a special event or a career achievement. Nominated moments must have taken place in the local area, or have involved a local athlete or team.
Special thanks for their outstanding support to each of our local teams and universities and to the California Speedway, the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach, Hollywood Park, Santa Anita, the Southern California Golf Association and the Southern California Tennis Association.
