An American scored the First World Cup Hat Trick, a Washing Machine used to make a Cycling record, and Two Triple Plays in one game

Beskrivelse

in 1930, American Bert Patenaude scored the first hat trick in World Cup history, but it took 76 years to recognize it. In 1993, Graeme Obree set a new cycling hour record on a bike he built from scrap metal and parts from his washing machine. In 1990, the Minnesota Twins turned two triple plays against the Boston Red Sox. It's the only time that's ever happened in MLB. In 1941, Joe DiMaggio went 0-3 with a walk, ending his hitting streak at 56 games.

Baltimore NFL Training Camps-Then and Now

StatMan and Robin is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear [https://sportshistorynetwork.com/]. EPISODE SUMMARY Statman and Robin look back at Baltimore training camps with the Ravens in 2001 and Colts in 1971 and the television coverage they received. They also review the Colts' history with exhibition/pre-season games and two devastating injuries suffered during them. STATMAN AND ROBIN BACKGROUND The city of Baltimore has a rich sports history dating back to the “Hit ‘em where they ain’t” Orioles of the 1890’s. Since then, the Colts, Orioles, Ravens and nearby Maryland Terrapins have provided fans with thrilling victories and crushing defeats, and we’ve been there for them all going back to the 1966 World Series champion Orioles. We’ll bring you the stories of our teams through the years featuring not just the action on the field, but memories of the players, coaches, executives and the city itself. From the champs to the bad teams that make us appreciate the good ones even more, there are stories we want to share for posterity. We hope the younger fans learn, and older fans relive those memories and perhaps learn something they didn’t know. We’ll also occasionally add stories of some lesser-known Baltimore teams, in sports like indoor soccer, lacrosse, and even Canadian football. Also, don’t forget the Baltimore Bullets. We hope you will enjoy our bi-weekly shows as much as we will enjoy reliving these great times of our lives. HOSTS - JIM JOHNSON & ROBIN HAINES Jim Johnson bio: I’m Jim Johson (aka StatMan), one of the co-hosts of Baltimore Sports History. I escaped the doldrums of Washington, DC sports in the 1960s when I moved to the Baltimore area during the 1970 World Series, which the Orioles won, and met Robin Haines. We quickly bonded over sports, a bond that lasted past school years through families and careers. I have written about sports for various websites over the years. I did “The Courtmaster” column covering ACC and Maryland Terps men’s basketball (and a National Championship) in the early 2000’s. I also wrote about college football in the mid 2000’s. More recently, I wrote about Baltimore football history and the AFC North for Baltimore Sports and Life from 2021-2023 [https://baltimoresportsandlife.com/author/jim-johnson/]. Now happily retired, I enjoy going back to the history of my favorite teams and sharing it with Robin, and you. Robin Haines bio: I'm Robin Haines, a retired R.N. and lifelong Baltimore area resident who grew up hearing my dad talk about the pre-1954 minor league Orioles. The seed was planted for my growth into a die-hard Baltimore sports follower (and when you're named after a baseball Hall of Famer-well, there's a story there). I met Jim Johnson when we were both around 12 years old, and we have shared the ups and downs (and many quirks) of the Baltimore sports scene for most of our lives. You know how a sports story or event you share with someone can instantly take you back to an earlier version of yourselves? That's how it is with Jim and me, and I hope to share that connection on this podcast.
