Yesterday Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game against the Rays.
Last Monday we saw a young Philly Phanatic get the shock of his life after running onto the field. This second event is special to me because I was there. To Witness this. LIVE.
Which got me thinking, what sporting event/achievement would the hobbers like to see.
I'm not talking about "I want to see the Superbowl" it's more "I want to see someone break the TD record in the Superbowl."
My pick would be to see a football game where a team racks up over 1000 yards of offense. The closest we came was Houston's run and shoot against Arizona State in 1990. David Klingler threw for 732. So now all we need is a 300 yard rusher and we're good to go. Easy right?
(Only David Klingler youtube video)
Actually this was a debate we always had on the practice field, that is, if it is actually possible to get 1000 yards of offense. So if it ever did happen I'd like to be there.
There it is. Sporting achievement/event you'd like to see. Get after it.
Shit Storm begin.

Most home runs in a game. Right? Everybody loves dingers.
ReplyDeleteGood call.
ReplyDeleteHow about an ejection at a curling match?
I want to be at a baseball game, professional or minor leagues, where someone in the dugout/bullpen is caught drinking during the course of the game. Has any starting pitcher who has ever pitched the previous day entered the game the following day? Just a thought, certainly not impossible.
ReplyDeleteAnon we have something better than drinking in the dugout.

Most fumbles in a football game. Because of the chaos. That's why.
ReplyDeleteThat and the inner-scrum vendettas.
i wanna see somebody drop 60 on all 3pointers in a game 7 of the nba finals...it could happen
ReplyDeleteBasketball: Quadruple Double
ReplyDeleteFootball: One player with a rushing, receiving, passing, and return touchdown all in the same game.
Baseball: 5/5, all home runs
None of these will happen in my lifetime, they'd be pretty cool though.
100 points in a basketball game.
ReplyDeleteAlso, DJ: What stats do you want to see in that quadruple double?
I would love to see a quadruple double made up of Assists, Rebounds, Blocks and Turnovers. Maybe it would be a little more dubious, what with the turnovers, but that would be one wacky ass game.
6 goals (double hat trick?) in soccer. All come outside 30 yards. One from 40 on a free kick. The madness....
ReplyDeleteThe madness.......
A perfect game for me would be pretty ridiculous, but tis already mentioned. Perfect game in the World Series?
ReplyDeletePoints + Rebounds + Steals + Blocks. Now that would be something else
ReplyDeleteFirst off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteI was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
thoughts before writing. I've had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Appreciate it!
