If you could travel back in time right now to any sporting event ,where would you go?

Journeyman · Jun 10, 2007

You have 60 seconds to decide where you want to go...make a wise choice.:thumbsup:

I'm not sure I can come up with just one game, it may even be a game I was at just to relive the moment...so perhaps the question should read, "a game you were not at but would have loved to have attended".

If I had one wish it would be to own a time machine and have a free pass to attend any point in time.

So what game would it be?

Game 6....Reds at Boston

wilheim · Jun 10, 2007

April of 1986 at Churchill Downs about 20 minutes to post time of that year's Kentucky Derby with a big roll of money in my pocket. Fedidnand won that day and paid $36 and change...He would have paid a little less after my wager but still plenty...

7th game of the 1960 World Series(Yanks-Pitt).

RobFunk · Jun 10, 2007

I cant find anything either.

Rick Sutcliffe picked up a win that day and won the Cy Young that year. LOL

But, I'm pretty sure thats not it. Hmm Eck picked up a win too. Bob Stanley recorded a save against the Yankees!!

WCJW · Jun 10, 2007

1980 Olympics, USA vs USSR Hockey!

RobFunk · Jun 10, 2007

I guess I should give a serious reply here.

I'll go with 1984 NBA finals, when Boston beat LA in 7 games.

June 9, 1973 - Only four other horses took on Secretariat at the Belmont for it was expected that the 1-10 favorite would win. What wasn't expected was the performance Big Red would give.

In the most demanding test of his young life, Secretariat rushed to the lead. He was soon challenged by Sham, who had finished second to Secretariat in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness. They raced the half mile in 46 1/5, a suicide pace for a mile and a half race.

But then Secretariat began pulling away as he ran the mile in a stunning 1:34 1/5. The Meadow Stable colt reached the mile and a quarter in 1:59, faster than he ran in setting the Kentucky Derby record. Alone, Secretariat wasn't racing against other horses, but against the clock, against history. When he finished the last quarter in a mind-blowing 25 seconds, there wasn't another horse in the same zip code. The magnificent chestnut finished an amazing 31 lengths in front.
"You couldn't find the other horses with two pairs of binoculars," said columnist Charlie Hatton.
In winning the Triple Crown, Secretariat set a world-record 2:24, breaking Gallant Man's Belmont mark by an incredible 2 3/5 seconds.
"He's the greatest horse that has yet developed in this century," said Holly Hughes, the senior trainer of America who saw Man o' War run and saddled the 1916 Kentucky Derby winner. "Yes, he's the Horse of the Century."
