Your Chance to Vote for YDL Sports Network Top Moments as we give you our Top 5 Month-by-Month

   

A lot of people, including us, in the media spend a lot of time at the end of the year telling you what we think the top stories from the past year were.

This year, we are going to do a little twist on that and list some of our favorite moments below but also give you a chance to vote on your favorite moments.

Our moments are in any order other than chronological, as we want you to tell us which ones should be where.

Voting will continue through 9 p.m. on Jan. 2.

We have chosen five moments from each month from January through June, five moments from July and August combined, and five moments each month again from September through December.

                   
               

We may have missed some moments here so we are adding an “other” category. Feel free to comment on social media about what those other moments may be.

You can select up to five moments every time you vote, and you can vote an unlimited number of times. Voting takes place below the list.
