Billy Mills, the "Running Brave". From an orphan on the Rez to the Olympic podium. One of the biggest upsets in distance running.
Yes, what an upset. Ron Clarke was clear favourite, holding loads of world records but Billy Mills came from nowhere to sprint past him in the final straight.

What a game! Lucky you.
10 home runs?
Yes, including by Pujols and Trout, and a walk-off grand slam :) Apparently there have been about 180 of them since 1950, which makes about one in every thousand games.
We got to Bmore on a Friday with tickets for the Saturday game. But then I got massive Not Being At The Game fear and my then-other-half went along with it.
We were about here:

Great seats, too. Trout and Pujols... how good is that! Not a fan of Manny as he finished Pedroia's career, but a good player all the same.

I was at this too.
Can confirm Cardiff is a great town to get battered in after a GS win:

You need 12 to win in your super over...and you manage 0. Zero. Nada. Nought. Zip.
Oh, and you only actually manage to lay the bat on one delivery, and that one resulted in a wicket

I don't think this would've been seen much outside of the states, but it's a must see moment. This is the university I went to (Michigan State, in white) winning in a last second miracle against our biggest rivals. With just 10 seconds left, all Michigan had to do was successfully get the punt away, which if you've seen American football, is pretty much a given and not difficult to do at all. We'll probably never see something like this again

Having followed this young lady for many years I cannot deny that it did bring a tear to my eye when she did this... A great ambassador for sport but I know there are many who dont hold her in such high regard

Why, not even heard a whisper? Unless you’re referring to Ched Evans?

I am cheating here because, as far as I know, there is no video footage of this, but as a teenager, I remember reading about what is probably still the greatest wicket-taking blast of all time, by off spinner Pat Pocock. I rummaged around in the more cobweb-infested regions of the internet and unearthed a short article with scorecard and some additional insight.
Mr Pocock snapped up 7 wickets in 11 balls - yes, balls, deliveries if you want to be posh - including 4 in 4 and 5 in 6! Man alive, that is going some! Oh, and what I only found out upon reading the article is that a world record 5 - yes, five - wickets fell in the last over. Being a county championship game, the eight spectators present were probably more interested in their knitting or the Times crossword, but even so, what a climax to the game.
