Sports myths

I always thought that was true.

 

Seems like a myth until somebody proves it.
But everyone I know seems to think it's true.

 

The Babe's called shot.

The 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007 world series.

That Don Denkinger's call in the 85 World Series was in Game 7 (it was Game 6) or that it cost the Cardinals the world series.

That Nebraska beat Missouri in 1997. (Don't care what it says on ESPN Classic. )

 

Exceedingly well played. Fear, suprise, a ruthless effiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope... arrrgh...

 

You sure?

 

You bastard. That was my freshman year. I was on the wall that separates the stands from the field when that bullshit happened.

True story: Wiggins, the kicker, was later accused (and possibly convicted of) either incest or statutory rape. And the Nebraska State Penn is in Lincoln.... not a coincidence.

 

Apologies. Minor threadjack.

We had that discussion with three different umpires this year in my son's youth league games. Two called strikes with no movement of the bat, one did not. I agreed with the former.

Back to the myths.

 

But it was in that movie!

 

That male journalists aren't allowed in women's locker rooms.
