Sports Information
Favorite Moment1927 World Series both games at Yankee Stadium, and Sandy Koufax just pitching. And UCLA winning first NCAA Crown with 30-0 season with no player over 6'5". Then winning 9 more in the next 11 years.
Worst MomentTo many to even think about.
Favorite AthletesTed Williams and Sandy Koufax both represented the best of their era. Sandy's career was cut short by his body and Ted's by the war. I got to know Ted during the WWII and watched him play all kinds of games and to me he was one of the greatest hitters to walk to the plate.
Least Favorite AthletesRose and Bonds. Two of the biggest losers in baseball. Rose was a cheat and liar and did things that should have kicked him out of baseball just as it did later on. And Bonds also a liar and cheat because he has gotten to where he is by using artifical means steriods to accomplish his baseball statistics. Since his going on drugs he has gained 35+lbs and added strength and gotten more homeruns because with these drugs give him added strength to hit the ball further at a older age. The steriods don't really help you hit the ball but they do make it go further, particularly now that he has reached 35 and over.
