I didn’t realize what this day symbolizes. It’s the anniversary of a couple pretty big Chicago sporting moments. On this date in history 33 years ago, MJ dropped 63 on the Celtics in the Garden. On this date in history 103 years ago, the Cubs played their first game in Wrigley Field. Side note, today was also the day 107 years ago, the Red Sox played their first game in Fenway.
I kind of like the whole “on this date in history” thing. It’s interesting to take a look back at Chicago sports moments over the years. Lots of stuff I remember, other stuff jars a memory, and some stuff I simply don’t recall. I’m not talking about just big moments; everybody should know those. I’m talking the day to day stuff; like game 13 for the Cubs back in 1991 or something. I may have watched it, I may have not. That one may jar something in my head, I may not have the faintest memory of it. Regardless, it’s cool to flashback.
Saw all kinds of stuff on Twitter regarding MJ’s 63. Hey, who can’t watch those highlights over and over? I saw one of them where they had a good shot of the fans, and they were going crazy. I mean, they were pissed that MJ kept scoring on the Celtics. And then they panned to one of their coaches, and his face…man, like he was in awe. The 1986 Celtics are regarded as one of the best teams in NBA history. MJ did that against them, in their house, with nobody else, in his 2nd year, after being out all season with a broken ankle. Yes, they did lose the game; I remember. But still…damn impressive. “The league was put on notice” was one of the quotes I liked. I think it was Bob Ryan from Boston. Really like him. The responses to his post about this game were good. The one thing that stuck out was the year Boston sports fans had in 1986. To start off, the Patriots went to their first Super Bowl; we all know what happened next. I guess it was a kick to the gut for them. They recovered though. The Celtics would go on to win the NBA title. Two teams in a row in the big game; wow, what a year for their fans. Hold on, what? The Red Sox went to the World Series that year too? Haha. Yes, they did. That of course was probably one of the most heart wrenching defeats you could ever endure. It’s better now, after they finally did win it all; but that was tough for a while I’m sure. I can relate.

Economical to purchase, kamagra is available online on 5mg cialis tablets robertrobb.com many websites.But just imagine for a second… 1986 in Boston would be the equivalent to the Bears going to the Super Bowl, the Bulls going to the NBA Finals, and the Cubs going to the World Series all in the same year!!! Just think about how insane that would be. Yes, we would have to at least win 1 of them, like back in Boston; losing all 3 would be the trifecta gut shot. Winning 2 or all 3….???? I’d be dead.
I almost forgot about the other historic event. Cubs playing their first game in Wrigley Field, then called Weegham Park until 1926, all those years ago. And to think, we go to games in that same place today. That’s pretty cool. That’s Chicago history. And the oldest ballpark opening that same date 4 years earlier? Just another Chicago Boston tie in, like the other ones above. I’m tripping out.
I guess that’s about it…until I read something tonight…an article about Steve Stone. It was so good, I think I’m going to have to blog about it.
