Good job Giants. That's three.
Passer tied with Elway... Jeff Tedford FSU.
We played the AAA championship at CP in 1962. Beat Bal 2-0. Soph year, our starter went CG with only a couple of hits so I had a DNP. However shagged BP in the OF. Windy! Bet I only caught half the balls hit my way.

Conigliaro was the one I knew. What a sad case. Closest I’ve seen to a hitter getting killed with a pitch.Had 104 HRs about 100 games into his 4th year when it happened. He was 22. What could have been….

42 years ago today, the “miracle on ice” Us Hockey team won a gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympics in lake placid.
Contrary to popular belief, the famous match against the USSR did not give the Americans a gold medal, since the medal round was a round robin.
Which team did the US beat to clinch the gold medal?
BC
Also, in that game for the gold medal, the US was trailing 2-1 at the end of the second period. What did US coach Herb Brooks say to his players during intermission?

Something along the lines of "if you lose this game you will take it with you to your graves".

“If you lose this game, you'll take it to your f***ing graves.” He then added, for emphasis “your f***ing graves”
