They finally made it a holiday, like I've been suggesting for years. Oh, sure, some will say it is for Easter Weekend, but we know the truth.
Still remember being curled up in a ball on the floor of my apartment, with an actual land line telephone, watching the final seconds with my brother and my mom on different lines calling in. My mom - still a sports newbie - screamed that it was over when Ricky forced the travel. I was like, "not yet, Mom!!!!" "Oh please, mojo gods, she knows not of what she speaks. Have mercy on us." I listened to WFAN until 5 a.m. that night.
To this day, it remains the greatest sporting event in the history of mankind. Miracle on Ice is second - sorry, Eruzione et al, it was only a semifinal. You still had to beat Finland.
