OTD in 1984, Hall of Famer Walter Payton became the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, surpassing Jim Brown’s 12,312 yards! 🏆

If you wanted to take your Wiffle Ball games to the next level, you needed some of these. That's just how it was.

The #Bears were trailing 35-17 in the 4th quarter when Merlo intercepts a pass, Walter Payton gives chase until the last minute.

There will never be another like Pete Rose! He battled his entire life, making it to the Big Leagues on determination and grit. He wanted to win every game and get 3 , no make that 4…no, 5 hits everyday. He won batting title because he had the desire and the goal. He wanted Ty Cobb’s record.
Will we ever see this again? 13 seasons of 190+ hits. 3,562 games played. 5,929 times on base. Rookie of the Year, All Star, Gold Glover, Silver Slugger, MVP and World Series Champion. A local kid from Cincinnati who became a King.
We were teammates, business partners and more importantly, in spite of what everyone thought, we were friends. I will miss him dearly.
