bluepill 0 #1 August 11, 2008 For me it was the 1979 500cc British Motorcycling Grand Prix at Silverstone. Barry Sheene and Kenny Roberts went at it hammer and tongs at the front. Barry even gave Kenny the V sign! Kenny won the race by half a bike, it was a great race and since that day I was hooked on to bikes and racing.

The Series was, in some respects, similar to the 1987 World Series also played by the Minnesota Twins (against the St. Louis Cardinals), most notably in that the home team won all seven games. The 1991 World Series was ranked by ESPN to be the best ever played, with five of its games being decided by a single run, four games decided in the final at-bat and three games going into extra innings. With 69 innings in total, the 1991 World Series holds the current record for longest seven-game World Series ever (some of the early years had nine-game Series, extending longer). Seven players appeared in both the 1987 and 1991 Series for the Twins; Kirby Puckett, Kent Hrbek, Greg Gagne, Dan Gladden, Gene Larkin, Randy Bush and Al Newman. For the first time in history, both league champions had finished the previous season in last place. No league champion previously had ever finished the previous season in last place.Skymama stalker #69!!!!
