Darren Daulton - 'Dutch' gets his ring with the 1997 Marlins
in Baseball
After missing the chance for a World Series Ring during his prime with the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies, Darren got a chance for another when he was traded to the Florida Marlins part way through the 1997 season, after 17 years with the Phillies organization. Dutch went 7 for 18 (.389 BA) with a HR & 2 RBI’s as Pinch Hitter during the Marlins World Series victory over the Cleveland Indians. Happy Birthday Dutch!! R.I.P.

Steve Wallace - San Francisco 49ers Offensive Tackle # 74
in Football
Happy Birthday to Steve Wallace. The San Francisco 49ers Offensive Tackle protected two of the best, Joe Montana & Steve Young, from 1986 to 1996, while winning three Super Bowls. Unfortunately he broke his ankle on the 3rd play of Super Bowl XXIII. I mostly remember Steve for his huge padded helmet that he donned for several years after suffering numerous concussions.

December 24th, 1989 - Coldest Game Ever Played at Joe Robbie Stadium
in Football
30 years ago today the Miami Dolphins & Kansas City Chiefs played a basically meaningless game in the final week of the 1989 season. It is the coldest home game ever played by the Dolphins. Temperatures at the 1 p.m. kickoff hung around 38 degrees with a wind chill of 28. I remember being 8 years old and being so stoked because we were actually having a cold Xmas in South Florida! It was a back and forth battle in the frozen tropics that day between two teams hanging on by a thread in the playoff push. The Chiefs would go on to win 27-24 and finish their season 8-7-1. Miami finished 8-8. Happy Holidays!
Steve Garvey a.k.a. - 'Mr. Clean'
in Baseball
Steve Garvey is the ‘Iron Man’ of the National League. Mr. Clean’s 1207 consecutive games played is 4th all-time in MLB History. He suited up for the Dodgers & Padres from September of 1975 to July of 1983. Happy Birthday Steve!
Dave Kingman - Kong in The Tropics
in Baseball
Happy Birthday Kong! Of all the former MLB players to participate in the short lived Senior Professional Baseball Association in 1989, Dave Kingman’s 442 career Homeruns was the most of any hitter. Dave hit .271 with 8 HR’s and 40 RBI’s for the 1st place West Palm Beach Tropics. The league would fold in 1990 midway through it’s 2nd season.
It's Friday My Friends!

Charles Oakley
in Basketball
Charles Oakley playing on the Chicago Bulls always looked strange to me. Oak was picked 9th overall in the 1985 draft by Cleveland, but his draft rights were traded to the Bulls. Charles had a few solid years in Chicago including All-Rookie Honors before he was traded to the Knicks for Bill Cartwright in 1988. Happy Birthday Oak Tree !!
