This thread, IMO, would make a great sticky thread.

So many things happened on certain days many years ago.

I would love to make it a sticky but there gets a point where we have too many sticky threads and some people don't want to have to scroll so far to get to the other threads.

C'mon Ramy, there aren't that many. This is a great thread, but it needs to be renamed something like "this day in history".

 

[Ramy]

Alright then. Does the OP want it renamed?

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Ball's in your court Sabresrule!

 

[SabresRule]

On this day in 1988, Orel Hershiser and the Dodgers completed their stunning World Series upset over the A's.

Sports birthdays on this day:

Juan Marichal, Mickey Mantle, one of Wozniak's favorite Lions- Herman Moore, and Juan Gonzalez, who from 1992-2001 was a phenomenal hitter- just ask HD MM about his 2001 season with the Tribe.

 

[Ramy]

Sabres, Do you want it renamed to what Paul suggested?

 

[SabresRule]

Sabres, Do you want it renamed to what Paul suggested?

Yes.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

Great minds think alike!

 

[KCK_Halo]

Isn't this the day Reggie went wild against the Dodgers in '77? I may be off on that one....

 

[HD MM]

Oh the bother! Now I have to scroll more!

Just kidding btw guys.....

 

[SabresRule]

On this day in 1975:

A game of all games.

 

[KCK_Halo]

INDEED! And to this day, it pisses Joe Morgan off ROYALLY that this Series is more remembered for this play of this game than the fact that the Reds came back and won the Series the next game.
