1976 was much bigger since it was 12 years since the last pennant …..Rizzuto screaming it……”The Yankees win the pennant……the Yankees win the pennant…..The Yankees win the pennant”…….really resonated when the Chambliss’s shot cleared the fence. Sure Boone’s shot in 2003 was big but the Yankees had already made the past 8 or so post seasons, and the announcers were not former Yankees IIRC.

“Gentlemen, if you attempt to do away with girls’ basketball in Iowa, you’ll be standing in the center of the track when the train runs you over."

John W. Agans, 1925, speaking to the Iowa High School Athletic Association whose members were voting to ban girls’ tournaments.

In case folks were wondering, this was in response the push to shut down "competitive" girls' basketball in the mid/early 20's. It was successful in most states, thereby hamstringing the growth of women's basketball for years.
