I have a lot of free time on my hands, so I'm in the car, getting lost in Philadelphia ("Girard Avenue, where did it go?" asks my dad) and I think to myself, if the Parker Brothers took on Milton Bradley in a fight to the death, who would win? Now of course, to be fair, this would be a tag-team fight, so Milton doesn't have to contend with both George and Charles at the same time. So, now, via the miracle of the Internet, you, yes you, can choose who will win the fight. Some background information - below is a list of the games that each of the companies are credited with creating. Leave a note and le the world know who YOU want to win.
