re: Hot Tub Time Machine (Sports-related)

Dukke V, We had given up already and said the Mets played a good sereis but I guess it's the Red Sox time to win. Maybe not

1959 Halloween game between LSU and Ole Miss.

1996 CWS when Warren Morris hit the Homer to win it all! I still get goosebumps!

rafael belliard's first homerun

The horse that won at the highest odds was Donerail, who paid $184.90 to win on a $2 bet in 1913. This was at the dawn of pari-mutuel wagering and the payoff perhaps reflects more uncertainty about the system of wagering than the actual status of Donerail. Most people feel that the true biggest upset was actually in 1940, when Gallahadion won and paid $72.40 to win. He upset Colonel E. R. Bradley's Bimelech, who was considered invincible and was a short-priced favorite to win. Gallahadion's victory was a shocker, much as if a horse that was 35-1 had upset Secretariat. Dark Star, who paid $51.80 to win, was another shocker-- the more so now in retrospect, because the horse that finished behind him, the immortal Native Dancer, had never lost a race before, and never lost a race after the Derby. Talk about picking the wrong race to lose! Jockey Eric Guerin is generally discredited with the Dancer's loss, one sportswriter disgustedly saying of Guerin's ride, "He took that colt everywhere [on the track] except the lady's room!" All of which just goes to show: no matter how hot a favorite is, how much he is bet down at the mutuel windows, anything can happen. Horses don't read the tote board.

I'd rather been at USC-LSU 1979..at least I was already alive for that one.

I experienced that one. I wanted to choose one I had not.

Tiger Stadium has never been louder in my lifetime than that '79 USC game.

But my Mom say it was that night in '59.
