Hometown Heroes - Robby Thompson

Local Legend Robby Thompson.  I remember being a kid and my buddy Rob W. talk a lot about how his dad went to High School with Robby at Forest Hill High in West Palm Beach, FL.

On This Day - 'Oopsie' starring Kevin Elster

Today in 1989 Kevin Elster’s record 88 game errorless streak at Short Stop comes to an end. The record was broken by the great Cal Ripken in 1990 when he had 95 straight errorless games. 

On This Day 1994 - Nuggets vs Sonics

May 7th, 1994. The Denver Nuggets become the first #8 seed to upset a #1 seed in the NBA Playoffs. 

Visors Were So Cool!!

Happy B-Day to Leslie O’Neal & Ronnie Harmon. The shielded Chargers duo of the early 90′s both had Pro Bowl years in 1992. O’Neal led the AFC with a career high 17 sacks, while Harmon, the dual threat out of the backfield had a career year of his own hauling in 79 passes for over 900 yds.

Bob Watson

May 4th, 1975 - Bob “Bull’ Watson is credited with scoring Major League Baseball’s One Millionth Run. Bob had to hustle from 2nd base on a three run homer by teammate Milt May to capture the record. Apparently at the same time, 12:32 pm, Davey Concepcion of the Cincinnati Reds had homered at Riverfront Stadium in Cincy and scored just seconds behind Bull.

David Robinson Scores 71 !!

OTD - April 24th, 1994 The ‘Admiral’ David Robinson pours in a career high 71 points! It was the last game of the ‘93-’94 season and the Spurs were in Los Angeles to play the lowly Clippers. Robinson was in neck to neck race with Shaquille O’Neal on who would win the scoring title that year. During the game David’s teammates kept feeding him the ball even though the game was basically meaningless & out of reach. He went 26-41 from the field and shot 18-25 from the free throw line in a 112-97 Spurs win. The 71 points allowed him to claim the title over Shaq by a mere 6 points. It was also the Highest scoring total for a player in San Antonio Spurs history. The ‘Ice-Man’ George Gervin had scored 63 back in 1978 when he won the scoring title. 

#00 - Ken Burrough

Dudes We Dig ! (00) Ken Burrough - The Houston Oilers Wide Receiver is the last player to don the #00 in the NFL.
