That is a GREAT story.... I have 2 baseballs with his autograph. Back when athletes didn't have to worry about some shmuck selling their autograph, guys like Lou Brock would stand in the clubhouse tunnel and sign their name until every kid was gone. When he was making a run at Maury Wills' record, I was a member of Brock's Base Burglers... (it was just a T shirt I had). It was so much fun to watch. It's truly a shame that Ricky Henderson blew his records away. Brock was something special. RIP Mr Brock... and thanks for the memories.Meeting Lou Brock, my favorite player when I was a little boy. I told him I loved watching him run. He told me if he hit a home run, he would run the bases full speed. He didn't hit a home run but he hit a triple off the top of the fence. Standing on third base, he looked over at me and pointed, he then put his hand over his heart. I will never forget the that moment. After the game he game back over to me with a game ball and said "almost." I cried when he died.

There’s only been two moments in sports that I jumped off the couch uncontrollably... 1) was the Tiger Woods chip that hung on the hole for a couple seconds and 2) was the Dobbnail boot against Georgia!

Going from such a low at the Georgia game to the dobb nail boot.
Leaving the TN vs #1 Kansas chanting it’s great to be a TN vol after a win.
Too young to know some of the others. But after reading all these posts, went back and watched all the others that happened before I was born. Which in turn brought me to tears seeing just how great we were, and hopeful we will return to that greatness one day.
If you are too young to remember those, I know you are too young to remember this. To put it in perspective the Russians were like Alabama with Tom Brady running the show. Team USA was just a bunch of college kids... not the professional ******** we have today. Annnnnnnd.. the game was played during the day, and tape delayed so literally no one knew the ending until that night. It would be impossible to keep that a secret today.. Anyway, this is just the last minute. Do you believe in Miracles? Enjoy. IT still makes me cry
