We're a society that likes to remember things, as if that makes the journey all the much sweeter. When it comes to recalling those images in sports, we all have memories that linger with us, etched forever. Those of course, can be good and bad memories. In my lifetime, I've seen a number of my favorite teams win the ultimate prize (Chicago Blackhawks-twice, Chicago Bears-twice, Chicago White Sox-once). I can still remember where I was and how I felt. Kind of like it was yesterday, but of course, it wasn't.
But isn't that what being a fan is all about? Having those "moments", or perhaps its having bragging rights over a best friend as to whose favorite team is better. Win or lose we've had hundreds of stars leave their impressions on us. I came a video on "You Tube" the other day...one that showcased sports in the last sixty to seventy years. Spend the next seven minutes and enjoy a trip back in time to some images worth remembering. See how many capture your favorite team or player. And then start wondering....how come they left out a favorite person or game of yours? Remember, somebody had to put together this reel. And of course, it was their highlight reel. Would yours be any different?
I hope you enjoyed the "best of" video. As we head to 2012, be prepared for the continued sports images coming your way. And here is to YOU having good sports memories. They are so much harder to accept than the bad, aren't they? Happy New Year and May God Bless You, Your Family and Your Favorite Teams. That is, as long as they aren't playing mine!!
Thanks for watching and reading.
