Article: The Poll; Last week's question: Should Tiger Woods' capture of four consecutive majors be considered a Grand Slam?(Sports)

RESPONSES: 56% YES, 44% NO

No asterisk needed

Positively. Simply because some petty "purists" feel that Tiger's fabulous accomplishments did not occur within one calendar year does not diminish them one iota.

How could it not be "a Grand Slam?" Using their reasoning, a consecutive home run streak or pitching consecutive no-hitters in different calendar years would require an asterisk.

-- Bill Mullen, Lowell

No grandstanding needed

No, Tiger Woods amazing run of four consecutive major victories should not be considered a Grand Slam.
