On Sept. 1st, 1971 nine Pittsburgh Pirates made history with an entirely Black and Black Latino starting lineup.
Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Manny Sanguillen, Dock Ellis, Al Oliver, Dave Cash, Jackie Hernandez, Rennie Stennett and Gene Clines filled out this historic cast.
@SixersAdam I'm way ahead here but was curious on your thoughts. LeBron averages 17/5/5 and gets Sixers to ECF two years in a row, do the Sixers retire #23?
🚨 Ferran Torres reveals Spain's final team talk: "The coach told me Argentina were waiting for penalties he sent me on to finish the game.
🗣️ Ferran Torres
When I was about to come on, the coach called me over and showed me exactly where Argentina were leaving space. He pointed out the gaps behind their midfield and told me they had stopped trying to win the match. In his eyes, they were already thinking about taking the game to penalties.
He looked at me and said, 'If this goes to penalties, it becomes a different game. We have to finish it before then.' He told me to attack with confidence, make aggressive runs and be brave in front of goal. His message was simple: don't wait go and decide the final.
That gave me so much belief. As a substitute, you dream of moments like that. The manager trusted me with the biggest responsibility in football, and I wanted to repay that trust. Scoring in a World Cup final is something I'll remember forever, but it all started with the confidence the coach gave me before I stepped onto the pitch.
Nico Williams's mother, Maria, walked nearly 2,000 miles while pregnant from Ghana towards Spain for a better life.
He grew up to assist the goal that won Spain the World Cup. Then, he gave his winner's medal to his mom.
An underrated moment that might have been forgotten by many: Leandro Paredes’ last-man-back effort on an Egypt counterattack 🔥
The same attack that had been tormenting Argentina all afternoon was stopped by Paredes. Two minutes later, Argentina won it 🇦🇷
Can everyone just step back and realize how insane it is that the US Supreme Court had to rule on the constitutionality of the US CONSTITUTION and the vote to uphold the Constitution wasn't unanimous!!!
@FWC26Philly says just under 55,000 people attended yesterday’s Fan Fest.
No other US Host City has exceeded 35,000 in one day and Philly has done that several times already. @FOX29philly
