It was this day in 1967 that a new event would be spawned, and over time, the term, the name, and all that it would encompass would lead to parties, pizza sales, beer consumption, and a viewing audience in the millions for fans in numerous countries.
On a day where two great games were played and both road teams pulled off the upsets, there were quite a few things that caught the corner of my eye as to the demise of what should have been a 'Super' season in the land of Big D
Management and coworkers were expecting more of a New York turnout from the Giants fans and all. It was not to be thus far. My guess is that too many fans budgeted their money for the game last 9/9/07. With this game too close to the end of Christmas, travel for some was not an option.
It is a given that once the Cowboys run comes to an end, some believe sooner than later, all eyes in North Texas shall be on the Dallas Mavericks and Stars. This night I got to enjoy an absolute shot show from the three point range. Ten treys were the most the Mavericks had shot all season in one game! No camera this night since I had seen the Pistons play back on October 19th in an exhibition.
Congrats to Goose Gossage getting into the Hall of Fame. I'll always remember how tough a reliever he was for the Yankees in 1978. Often entering a game in the 7th, 8th, or 9th inning and getting the necessary outs. A 22 year career where he lived to throw the 1 fastball and get the win. Congrats Goose, you deserve it!
