1919 -- Phillies beat Brooklyn Dodgers 9-0 in 20 innings. 1971 -- 25th NBA Championship: Milwaukee beats Baltimore Bullets in four games. 1976 -- Muhammad Ali beats Jimmy Young in 15 rounds for heavyweight boxing title. 1990 -- As Mets pitcher David Cone argues a call at first base, two Braves score. *From SI.com
Yeah there's a lot of history with the New York Yankees, but I wish that the Dodgers had remained in Brooklyn. In my mind there is no better sports name than the Brooklyn Dodgers! With the 2009 NBA Finals looming in the distance I have been reminded how much I enjoy playoff basketball. The Bulls Celtics series has been crazy good and with all the drama between the Hornets getting whooped by 58 and Dwight Howard being suspended for tonight's game six, these playoffs have been wrought with excitement. Looking forward to Lakers vs. Cavs finals. I attended the Twins game last night vs the Tampa Bay Rays and almost witnessed the 1990 note above. Scott Kazmir had a wild and crazy first inning last night and allowed four earned runs on 2 or 3 wild pitches. On the second wild pitch a run scored and Kazmir was so distraught that he hung his head at the plate as the runners continued to advance to second and third.
