Your top 3 sports experience
1. 1980 Winter Olympics, Lake Placid, USA vs. USSR
2. 2003 Marlins vs. Yankees, World Series
3. Hitting last second basket playing basketball at Oak Hill to win the game
Okay, here's my 3 top sports experiences. Yep, I am one of the really fortunate ones who saw live the USA vs. USSR hockey game. It's my number one.
As a big time baseball fan, and having lived in South Florida in the 1980s and 1990s, I had season tickets the first year of the Marlins. It was ultra sweet in 2003 because we beat the Evil Empire in the World Series, the Yankees.
And lastly, in 1971, I played basketball for Oak Hill Academy. But back then we were terrible and no black students played basketball because there were no black students. We were literally a lily white team and bad. But I did hit a shot in the closing seconds of the game against our arch rival to win it for Oak Hill. At assembly the next morning, Chancellor Robert Isner gave me the game ball and school was dismissed the rest of the day. I was very popular, for that one day. What are you top 3?
