i couldn't agree more, gh. i grew up with cal ripken but was shocked to see his passing gehrig chosen #1. it doesn't even belong in the top 5. my personal choice for #1, the 1951 Shot Heard Round the World, apparently merely dates me (even though I was too young to have known about it when it occurred). What are some nominees for Top Moments of the Century in T&F? A few possibilities (in no particular order):
Bob Hayes' 4x1 anchor in Tokyo Beamon's LJ in Mexico City FloJo's 10.49 Rafer Johnson vs CK Yang Wilma Rudolph in Rome Jesse Owens in Berlin 1952 4x4 Jamaica vs US Lindgren defeats Russians at 10k US-Russia dual at Stanford during Cuban missile crisis Lusis vs Wolfermann in Munich '72 Mills's win over Clarke and Gammoudi in Tokyo Ryun vs Liquori in Philadelphia ... What else? JP
Zatopek's Olympic distance triple in 1952
